Third-year students from the University of Santo Tomas College of Tourism and Hospitality Management traveled to Vietnam for an International Study Tour held from April 21 to 25, 2025. The activity took place in Hanoi and Halong Bay, Vietnam and was joined by students from the Culinary Entrepreneurship and Hospitality Leadership majors under the BS Hospitality Management program.

The study tour was a major academic component for courses such as International Cuisine, Strategic Management, Entrepreneurship, and Revenue Management. Students from six sections took part in the international engagement.
During the trip, students visited cultural sites, local culinary establishments, and hospitality enterprises, allowing them to experience firsthand the tourism and hospitality industry of Vietnam. These activities supported their classroom learning by exposing them to regional practices, emerging industry trends, and operational strategies in hospitality and tourism.
The international study tour also highlighted CTHM’s continuing efforts to provide global learning opportunities and develop industry-ready Thomasian professionals equipped with relevant skills and insights in the international tourism and hospitality industry.
