Educational Excellence Through Tourism,
Hospitality and Events Trips and Experiences 🌍👌
It has been a busy year for Tourism, Hospitality and Event
Management (THE) students; isn’t it always?
The students have run live events, such as
The End Game, been
nominated for national
industry
awards, observed demonstrations and welcomed a wide range of industry
speakers, including those pitching for new staff at our careers event. Of
course, some of our students weren’t with us at our main campus in Preston, but
were instead on a year-long
placement
or spending their second year at our
Cyprus
campus, for example
Sofia
Nawaz.
One of the most valued sources of course enrichment are the
various
trips, which run through the
year.
The domestic day trips are too
numerous to list here but they included a visit to The
Hotel Gotham,
Manchester, and tour of
The
Lakes District’s heritage and tourism industry.

However, the overseas trips generate the most excitement.
Our students have had the chance to get involved with masterclasses and
cultural exchanges in Europe as well as leadership development programmes and
exchanges in Cyprus and China. The most popular oversea trips are those that
are aimed at the whole group.
The
destinations do vary but this year our first year THE students visited
Berlin,
the second years visited
Iceland and the final
years visited
Cambodia.

Our philosophy is that you cannot teach the finer points of
the visitor and experience economy without offering visits and international experiences! We want our courses to be great educational
experiences that give a real understanding of 21st century industry
and society.
