hey guys, i am trying to write a letter of motivation to apply at a university in austria to study tourism management. the following is what i got so far. what do you think about it? which improvements could i make? cheers

I am interested in attending your University in order to further my education in Tourism. I feel that your University is the best one for me due to the fact that it offers courses in all of the languages that I speak. This includes English, Italian and Russian. Furthermore, the opportunity to learn other modern languages, such as French and Spanish appeals to me. I am particularly fond of your school because each class is taught using the English language.

I feel that I would be an asset to your school as I enjoy working in teams. I do not sit back and let someone else do my work for me. I am a hardworking individual but also willing to help out others.

Some of my outside interests include singing in my local gospel choir, along with horseback riding. I also enjoy athletics, such as netball. I have a great fondness for travelling and have even spent an academic year at a College in England, which I found extremely enlightening. During that year I have had the chance to study Travel and Tourism as an Advanced Vocational course and particularly enjoyed the chance to get an insight into the industry as well as to gain experience in working with customers in various situations. The subjects covered in this course included:

· Tourism Development
· Worldwide Travel Destinations
· Investigating Travel and Tourism
· Marketing Travel and Tourism
· Customer Service in Travel and Tourism
· Visitor Attractions

I graduated from this course with grade B. Additionally, I was able to achieve several more qualifications in the tourism field which can be perceived from my curriculum vitae.

I have a passion for learning about other cultures and languages, as I am an open minded and outgoing individual who enjoys talking to people from different backgrounds and nationalities.

My work includes a job with EF. This is an institution offering language travels and exchange programs. My responsibilities there include working as a manager assistant in a language and culture camp in addition to informing future exchange students about their academic year ahead. I learned a great deal from this work experience along with indulging in my passion for dealing with other cultures and discovering foreign countries.
