The industry is strongly supported by the development of Integrated Resorts (IRs) in the region, tourism boom spurred by rising middle class affluence in Asia, and an increase in business and medical travellers globally.
Students going through the programme will attain needed knowledge and practical skills to develop the ability to identify and analyze business problems, and formulate operational and tactical plans to respond effectively to the rapid changes in the business environment of the hospitality and tourism industry. Lessons are conducted through a combination of classroom learning and on-the-job training; the programme seeks to maximise learning by utilising hands-on discovery and discussion presentations, which allow room for creative thinking and problem-solving.
