Hospitality Management Students Link with Colombia

Students in Dr. Cynthia Deale’s HMGT 3200: Dimensions of Tourism course recently linked “live” with classmates from LaSalle University in Bogota, Colombia.

Dimensions of Tourism, a required hospitality course, is part of the Global Understanding Program. Global Understanding Program courses are taught within a variety of disciplines and aim to provide a more global point of view for the students both here at ECU and at our sixty partner universities in thirty countries. Students learn about other cultures without the expense of studying abroad.

HMGT 3200 covers a variety of topics related to tourism including tourism organizations, culture, diversity, safety and security, sustainable hospitality and tourism, product development, and tourism in the future. In addition, students complete collaborative projects with their partners in each country about leadership in hospitality and tourism and compare and contrast tourism in the USA and each partner country.
