Students enhance their expertise by participating in practical tourism tours
Starting from their first year, students take part in tours to historical and cultural sites in Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring provinces to gain knowledge of history, geography, and culture while also developing essential soft skills such as communication and event facilitation. These initial short-distance tours help students gradually become familiar with the professional working environment. As they progress, students participate in longer trips across regions such as the Mekong Delta, Central Vietnam, the Central Highlands, and even international destinations. Each journey provides valuable opportunities to learn how to organize and manage a professional tour, handle unexpected situations, and address accommodation-related issues - crucial aspects for anyone working in the tourism industry. Following these experiences, students undertake internships at major travel companies and hotels, where they apply their academic knowledge to real-world tasks, gain hands-on experience, and prepare themselves for future careers.
Industry experts share valuable knowledge with students
In addition to participating in field tours, HUTECH students also engage in specialized seminars and vibrant cultural exchange activities on campus. These experiences allow them to gain in-depth knowledge of local and international cultures, countries, and cuisines - enriching their professional foundation and equipping them with valuable insights to pursue a successful career in the tourism industry.
Confidently pursuing exciting career opportunities at the annual Job Fair
Through these valuable hands-on experiences, Tourism Management students are equipped with solid professional competencies and the confidence to present themselves in direct interviews with employers during HUTECH Tourism Happy Day - an annual recruitment event for the Tourism - Restaurant - Hospitality sector. The event gathers many leading companies in the industry. Many students have received praise from recruiters and even secured attractive job offers with competitive salaries before graduation.
