Cohort World Map Update: Which countries can been added to our map?
Individual "Learning outside the lecture hall" list update
ITM Cohort 2007/2008 Learning about Tourism outside of the lecture hall Tourism is part of the service industry. People working in the tourism
sector need to know the motivation and behaviour of their customers as well as
the products on offer – not only in theory but if possible also as a personal
experience. Following is a list of things to do - and some reading tips – for your
time as a ITM bachelor student. These are of course not compulsory but you
should check which experiences you are still missing. Try to include as many as
possible once or several times into your life during the next three years. Enjoy!
PS.: Keep
this list and tick off what you did each year. PPS.: Most of
these activities obviously cost money. This list might help you to find
“sponsorship” for some activities from relatives etc. If you still cannot afford for instance to stay overnight in a 5-Star hotel or to
go on a cruise, go at least for a visit when the opportunity arises. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Some books everybody interested in tourism should have read: Alain
