Program Outcomes
The program provides Learners with in-depth knowledge and understanding of the tourism and hospitality industry. It enables them to deepen their understanding of the principles, applications, context, management, and operational aspects underlying international marketing with tourism business development, promotion, innovation, and management. As a result, Learners on the program are able to acquire the requisite knowledge and job-relevant in-demand skills to advance their careers in top management within the tourism and hospitality industry.
The ACTIVEclassTM Mode of Delivery of this Program lays less emphasis on teaching or instruction. Learners are encouraged and empowered to develop and acquire their Program-specific SEEKTM (skills, expertise, experience, and know-how) through the innovative LKDATM (Learn, Know, Do, Acquire) approach
The Program provides Learners with in-depth knowledge and understanding of the core, concentration, and specialization subject areas of the Program to enable them develop and acquire the relevant Program-specific SEEKTM through actively engaging in the Learning-by-Involvement (LbI) and Knowing-by-Doing (KbD) activity-based learner-initiative-intensity-activeness LKDATM-Outcome AATs (actions, activities, and tasks).
The LKDATM– Outcome ACTIVEclassTM Mode of Program Delivery
The Program is ACTIVEclassTM Compliant whereby the instructional delivery approach is designed to facilitate, support, and empower the active engagement of Learners in the process of developing and acquiring their Program-specific SEEKTM (skills, expertise, experience, and know-how).
ACTIVEclassTM Instructors are, therefore, not at the center of the teaching-instruction-learning process. They focus on introducing the subject matter of instruction, mapping out and guiding Learners through learner-initiative-intensity-activeness LKDATM (Learn, Know, Do, Acquire) Outcome AATs (actions, activities, and tasks).
ACTIVEclassTM Learners are therefore encouraged and empowered to play an active engagement role in contributing to their SEEKTM (skills, expertise, experience, and knowledge/know-how) development and acquisition process through actively engaging in the Learning-by-Involvement (LbI) and Knowing-by-Doing (KbD) activity-based LDKATM Outcomes AATs (activities, actions, and tasks).
