Hello everyone!! I
am Shi Ying, a degree student of Hospitality & Tourism Management course from KDU
University College.
Interested in studying Hospitality & Tourism Management course but still hesitating about it?
Have a look at the 3 myths or things to avoid and 3 things
you gonna love studying this course. =)
--- 3 Myths / things to avoid ---
#1 Hotel & Tourism Management is an
easy course!
This course doesn't just focus on hotel & tourism subject, we also learn
about other general aspects of the business culture which can be very useful in other
industries as well, such as: Financial management, Economics, Human
Resources, and Corporate Social Responsibility etc.This course takes as much academical effort as any other courses.
#2 Avoid this course if you are not
passionate about service-related industry
This course
and its industry-related jobs require a lot of face-to-face human interaction. Some
find it difficult to overcome their boundaries & tend to lose interest in it,
and others might overcome it and love it. Therefore, analyze your own characteristics and interest before you make a decision to study this course. Avoid it if
you are not passionate about service-related industry. Think twice and make your decision wisely.
#3 Wearing uniform everyday is a
must in this course
It depends
on your institution chosen. Some colleges are strictly abide by the rules of
wearing uniform on a daily basis to portrait professionalism. There are also
other institution who takes the uniform regulations slightly lighter. In my
college, wearing uniform is only required on Monday and selected occasions. ^.^
--- 3 things you gonna love ---
#1 Application of practical &theoretical knowledge

| Our Service Uniform =) |
This course offers you a variety of practical skills and theoretical knowledge such as basic kitchen management, restaurant management skills and beverage studies. Most of the students love practical classes because you will have a lot of fun doing it and it is not boring. You even get the chance to experience wine and liquor testing, cook for others and running a restaurant!

#2 Travel!!!
Everybody
loves travel!
Studying this course in my college (KDU), you will get the opportunity
to travel within your academic life in this course! The IMI designated courses
will encourage you to travel and visit their campus in Switzerland. Additionally,
you might come across few subject where travelling to another country is
required with your whole class. I have traveled to Hong Kong during my diploma
and Bali few months ago. Guess what? I'm going to travel to Cambodia soon with my beloved
classmate!!! I am sure it's going to be a very fun yet exciting trip! ^.^

#3 Activities Galore!!
Whether it is a Corporate Social Responsibility
fundraising campaign or a food festival, this course will incorporate within
their subjects an abundance of activities that you and your course mates would
have to plan and manage by yourself. You will get a lot of fun through the
event. If you love to be on your feet, this is one course you shouldn't leave
out of your options!
