==History==

The legacy of UP TMS was founded by the THE CRUSADES, a circle of friends formed by Carl Trocio, Rommel Calimlim, and students from the university in 1995. After a while, Trocio and Marlon Castor decided to have the group recognized by the college and the university. The Tourism Management Society was finally born on February 9, 1996 and recognized in July 1997. Its early members composed of Mel Panganiban, Dennis Lopez, Jake Hizon, Richard Ronquillo, Mitzi Canafranca, Carly Macabuhay, and PJ Ferrer. Trocio became the first president from 1996 to mid-1997. He was followed by Castor (2nd semester 1997) and Hizon (1998).

UP TMS, since 1996, has endeavored in bringing service not only to its members in the fulfillment of its mission but also to the UP community starting with the Institute. Quiz shows such as '''Quiztion Please''' and "Artourista: The Ultimate Tourism, Arts, and Pop Culture Challenge" were conducted as forms of fund-raising to finance charity contributions to certain foundations.

In September 2000, the organization held for the first time the '''Business Trip''' in Holiday Inn Resort Clark Field. The Business Trip was to become the banner event of UP TMS until 2006. The primary goal of this activity was to expose students on hotel and restaurant operations. Entitled ''Business at Holiday'', the 2000 Business Trip was attended by students from the Asian Institute of Tourism and the UP College of Home Economics.

Business Trips:

September 2000 ''Business at Holiday'' in the Holiday Inn Resort Clark Field 
February 2001 ''Business at Holiday'' II in the same resort 
September 2001 ''2 Days and 1 Night in Paradise'' in DJ Paradise Resort & Hotel, Bulacan 
February 2002 ''Sabik sa Subic'' in Subic International Hotel, Zambales 
September 2003 ''Enchan 2, The Magic Returns'' in Enchanted Kingdom, Laguna 
Feb. & Mar. 2004 ''TOUR-IT: The Roadless Connection between Tourism and Information Technology'' 
September 2005 ''Racket Attack! The 1st UP-AIT Badminton Tournament'' 
March 2005 ''Tourism in the Eyes of the Youth'' Photography and Essay Competition in Quezon City 

The organization had sponsored symposia, medical missions, UPCAT reviews, and quiz shows along the years. It had even offered a package to Enchanted Kingdom in one of its anniversaries in the early 2000s. UP TMS participates in the University Student Council's Alternative Learning Classroom Experience (ACLE) and the UP FAIR.

For it's 18th and 19th Anniversary, the organization held Indulgence 1 & 2 respectively which was a dessert buffet event free for students, faculty, and staff. This was one way to show gratitude especially to the AIT community for continued support and inspiration of the members and the org's events.

In 2010, the Constitution was revised to cope with the changing conditions of the organization. Its logo was likewise changed.

The organization's academic service continued in the latter part of 2009-2010. It hosted a two-session seminar on research entitled ''THESIS IT''. Dr. [[Miguela Mena]], now AIT Dean, talked about the basics of quantitative research while Dr. Edieser Dela Santa was all about qualitative papers.

At the AIT Week of the Institute's Student Council, TMS was chosen to organize the council's quiz show, later called as ''AMAtour: Are You Smarter than a Tourism Major?''. It was held in UP-Ayala Technohub's conference room.
