Students are asked to be active during the activity to be able to explore knowledge in more depth. Students are required to prepare an activity report containing a summary of activities while participating in this program.
This activity is one of the steps to achieve academic goals, namely preparing students to develop tourism theory, providing in-depth knowledge about the independent research process to find innovative theories or models in tourism development, and strengthening relationships with various stakeholders in carrying out theoretical and practical development activities in the tourism sector.
This program is an opportunity to develop international cooperation, especially in the fields of education and research. This is in line with the sustainable development goals (Sustainable Development Goals).
