Reflection in BSTM Course
Reflection in BSTM Course
student. I've learned a lot of useful experience during the past few months. The
Tourism and Hospitality major has given me new perspectives on the industry from
around the world. In addition, the course has provided me with the tools and
resources I need to have a successful career. Actually, I was an ABM student way
back in my senior high school days who fell in love with travel and wanted to try
something else to spice up my student life, so I enrolled in this course as a general
alternative. All throughout the learning process, I have gained a better understanding
of what motivates people to travel, what possibilities and risks exist in the tourism
industry, and how to plan a trip. This course, in particular, can help me a lot in my
dream job of being an owner of a travel start-up or maybe a Flight attendant
someday.
In overall, ma'am Mecah has taught me a lot about tourism and shown me
how to become an excellent tourist planner in a number of ways. During her online
classes, I gained some basic ideas concerning the tourism industry's need in terms
of tourists, travellers and guests. Furthermore, I am informed of several motivations
and reasons why people wish to travel, such as appealing destinations, studying
abroad, health reasons, visiting family or friends, and so on. Also, the idea of tourism
supply can assist me in understanding what an organization can do to meet the
demand for tourism. To elaborate, the topic of transportation is crucial in the tourism
industry. For tourists and travellers, different modes of transportation have varied
advantages and risks. Tourists can choose the best mode of transportation based on
their particular goals, such as saving time, money, or receiving high-quality service.
Then, when it comes to tourism attractions, I can see the value of events and certain
strategies for attracting and retaining visitors in the tourism industry.
The primary motivation for pursuing a degree in hospitality, travel, and tourism
is to work in the industry. Hotels, airlines, destinations, attractions, transportation,
cruises, events, activity providers, shopping malls, tourist services, travel brokers,
tour operators, among other businesses combine to form a massive industry. It is a
field that is both practical and interesting. It is constantly expanding and requires an
increasing number of competent personnel and innovators each year. Also, by
studying in tourism, you will be placed in the heart of the service industry. You will
gain skills that can be used in a variety of fields. Because it is a service and human-
to-human industry, it will require hardworking and innovative employees in the future.
Additionally, many careers in the industry allow you to travel all the time. You'll
need to learn about tourism sites, attractions, and services, as well as maybe guide
travellers to unusual locations or conduct research in foreign countries. Travel
broadens your view on everything, and the tourism business offers a plethora of
travel opportunities. If you want to make a lot of money, tourism might not be the
ideal option. However, if you value other aspects of life such as having fun, meeting
new people, enjoying life, and doing what you enjoy, tourism and hospitality provide
multiple options. People studying and working in the field are typically relaxed and
outgoing.
