Experiential Learning – Developing Practical Skills through the Course “Tour Design and Operation”

As part of the “Tour Design and Operation” course, students majoring in Tourism and Travel Services Management at Trưng Vương University participated in a series of extracurricular learning activities at two notable destinations: Gò Lào Waterfall (Mai Châu, Hòa Bình) and the Vietnam Scientists Heritage Park.

These field trips not only served as destination surveys but also provided an ideal hands-on learning environment, allowing students to “step into the profession” right from the classroom.

 

• Career Experience from the Field

  At Gò Lào Waterfall, students immersed themselves in the natural beauty of the Northwestern mountains and forests while participating in various activities such as:

  • Surveying the tour route and evaluating its potential for eco-tourism development

  • Recording field information, drafting tour ideas, and building specific itineraries

  • Practicing group organization, team-building, and tour guiding simulations

  • Experiencing stream bathing, foot soaking, and relaxing in nature — enabling students to feel the destination as real tourists

At the Vietnam Scientists Heritage Park, students continued with:

• Observing the heritage space system and accompanying services

• Analyzing target customer groups and designing tour content tailored to specific audiences

• Taking professional photos and videos to promote the destination

• Practicing presentation skills, destination storytelling, and efficient itinerary planning

Opportunities for Students

Through these extracurricular lessons, students gained a deeper understanding of the full process of organizing a complete tour. They developed skills in teamwork, communication, creativity, and real-life problem-solving. These experiences also instilled a strong sense of professionalism at tourism sites and fostered stronger connections between students and instructors — contributing to a dynamic and inspiring learning environment.
