The signing of the cooperation agreements with major travel companies not only marks an important milestone in supporting and accompanying students in the Tourism field, but also opens up valuable opportunities for internships and real-life experiences for the Academy’s students. These practical opportunities will help students solidify their professional knowledge and better prepare for their future careers.
On this occasion, the Department of Tourism and Aviation Services also organized a seminar to develop the learning outcomes and curriculum for undergraduate programs in the following specializations: Travel Management, Hotel and Restaurant Management, International Tour Guiding (English), and Aviation Commercial Services Management, all within the field of Tourism and Travel Services Management.
After listening to the draft proposal for launching these new specializations, the discussion session was lively and productive, with valuable feedback and contributions from representatives of government agencies, domestic and international educational institutions, potential employers, and students. Their input helped identify necessary adjustments to the curriculum. The contributions were constructive and supportive, marking an important step toward facilitating the smooth completion of the proposal and ensuring the successful launch of these new programs.
Based on the feedback and suggestions from the participants of the seminar, the Department of Tourism and Aviation Services will make revisions, additions, and propose directions for the development and improvement of the training programs. These programs will aim to meet the established learning outcomes, reflect the vision and mission of the Academy and the department, and, most importantly, ensure that students who complete the curriculum can fully develop their personal potential, meet societal needs, and be ready for international integration.
