Thrilled to reflect on my enriching 10-month journey as a Sustainability and Social Responsibility Associate at Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA)!✈️🌱 This internship has been a profound journey of learning, growth, and self-discovery. Here’s a glimpse of what I have learned: 🌱 Sustainability in Tourism: Immersing myself in sustainability initiatives within the tourism industry has been very eye-opening; there are so many approaches and initiatives aiming to steer this industry toward a more sustainable and resilient future. One of my supervisors once said that sustainable tourism should not be a category of tourism because travel and tourism, no matter what kind, should be sustainable and responsible in itself. 🌟 Collaboration Across Borders: Working alongside a diverse array of stakeholders — from governmental bodies to NGOs, private sector entities, businesses, and individuals from various countries — allows me to see the power of collaboration. I have been amazed by how these stakeholders bring forward such diverse approaches to sustainable tourism. I believe that, with joined forces and diverse minds, we can thrive and drive for collective impacts for our mutual goals. 🛠️ Acquisition of Invaluable Skills: With variations of tasks and assignments, I have learned a number of skills, from soft skills like communication and adaptability to hard skills like project proposal writing and carbon emission calculation. It was such a great time getting to hone new skills while practicing the old ones at the same time! 🔍 Self-Discovery: One of the most important lessons learned was about myself. Throughout the internship journey, there were times I faced challenges, but that was when I could see my strengths and weaknesses. I had the opportunity to observe how I handle different situations, and I found that to be very invaluable self-discovery. 🎯 Shaping Future Goals: This journey has been fundamental in shaping my future aspirations. Equipped with newfound knowledge, experiences, and a deeper understanding of myself, I become more confident in utilizing my new skill sets and pursuing my passions and purposes. For those of you who are interested in sustainability and tourism and opportunities like mine, PATA is a great place to learn more about it! 🤩 If you want to be a part of the PATA internship program and sustainability journey, please visit https://lnkd.in/gJSUsXXE #Sustainability #SocialResponsibility #InternshipJourney #PATAExperience

The hospitality and tourism industry relies extensively on a dynamic ecosystem, where partnerships play a crucial role in both boosting business and fostering the growth of future professionals in the field. While classroom settings provide a strong foundation, it is through real-world experiences that theoretical knowledge is solidified. By participating in internships and engaging in on-site project collaborations, students are exposed to the daily operations and challenges of working in the industry. This immersive approach not only enhances their skillset but also helps them discover their areas of interest within the vast spectrum of hospitality and tourism. Moreover, these partnerships also serve as a talent pipeline for the industry. By engaging with students at an early stage, hospitality and tourism businesses can identify potential future employees. Through internship programs, businesses can assess students' work ethic, adaptability, and passion. Exceptional students can be offered part-time positions or even fast-tracked into graduate programs upon graduation. This targeted recruitment strategy not only fosters loyalty and reduces onboarding costs for businesses but also empowers students with a competitive edge as they enter the workforce. Hospitality and tourism sectors rely heavily on strong communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and time management abilities. Engaging in hands-on experiences enables students to refine these skills in real-life scenarios. For instance, a student assisting at a tourist information office develops effective communication with international visitors, handle unexpected situations, and efficiently organize themselves to manage multiple queries simultaneously. Employers across various fields highly value these soft skills, making graduates of hospitality and tourism programs versatile and adaptable candidates. AMFORHT, with its extensive network of educational institutions, industry experts, and associations, is well-positioned to facilitate these collaborations. It promotes partnerships between educational providers and industry stakeholders, acknowledging the mutual benefits of such alliances. AMFORHT's endeavors, including hosting and participating to global conferences and fostering conversations between different players, aid in exchanging best practices and successful partnership models in the industry. In doing so, it not only improves the quality of education and training but also contributes to the sustainable growth of the global hospitality and tourism sector. Through cooperation among educational institutions and businesses, AMFORHT bridges the divide between academic knowledge and practical skills, ensuring a skilled and versatile workforce for the future.

Trends and Innovations Shaping the Hospitality Industry: Hospitality is not only limited to receiving guests but comprehends quite a number of lodging facilities such as the bed and breakfasts, cruise lines, resorts, and the vacation home rentals among others catering for diverse market demands. The advancement spotted in this sector is perhaps the incorporation of technology. Technologies like online reservation systems, virtual visits and mobile applications have changed the way companies work and how they and their clients deal with the service, making new bookings easier, enabling more adaptation to the client’s needs, and improving the guests’ experiences. Listing down few experiences from the recent internship with Deal Squard which is one of the top travel and hospitality company. This internship was useful in expanding my knowledge on the tourism industry as I got exposed to digital travel media and the impact of GST. In its turn when engaging in the discussions of digital periodicals, I was informed on how these tools are not only instruments for brand promotion and sales boost but also for professionals’ target audience education. From my study of the effects of GST on travel and hotel services, I had deeper understood of how firms develop methods of struggling through, and managing the new regulations and laws on pricing and costs. From this I was able to understand the roles of communication skills and basic understanding of sales and events as well as movements in the competing sector as seen through the internet and other resourceful information of the hospitality industry. In conclusion, it has been observed that the hospitality industry has become very divers and has moved away from just providing hotel services. I was able to learn most of what I needed to know during my internship and this helped me know most of the trends in the industry and the competency profile that can be used when working in the field. #dealsquard #pesu #hospitalityindustry #Finance
