\nIt has been a busy year for Tourism, Hospitality and Event Management (THE) students; isn\u2019t it always?\u00a0\u00a0The students have run live events, such as\u00a0The End Game<\/a>, been nominated for national\u00a0industry awards<\/a>, observed demonstrations and welcomed a wide range of industry speakers, including those pitching for new staff at our careers event. Of course, some of our students weren\u2019t with us at our main campus in Preston, but were instead on a year-long\u00a0placement<\/a>\u00a0or spending their second year at our\u00a0Cyprus<\/a>\u00a0campus, for example\u00a0Sofia Nawaz.<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the most valued sources of course enrichment are the various\u00a0trips<\/b>, which run through the year.\u00a0\u00a0The domestic day trips are too numerous to list here but they included a visit to The\u00a0Hotel Gotham<\/a>, Manchester, and tour of\u00a0The Lakes District<\/a>\u2019s heritage and tourism industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

However, the overseas trips generate the most excitement. Our students have had the chance to get involved with masterclasses and cultural exchanges in Europe as well as leadership development programmes and exchanges in Cyprus and China. The most popular oversea trips are those that are aimed at the whole group.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>The destinations do vary but this year our first year THE students visited\u00a0<\/span>Berlin<\/a>, the second years visited\u00a0<\/span>Iceland<\/a>\u00a0and the final years visited\u00a0<\/span>Cambodia<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
