Welcome
This program will introduce WSU students to destination management, Thai cooking and serving, and provide the opportunity for international internships. Course work will include consumer and management evaluations and the development of a business plan for a competitive tourism and hospitality company. Students will stay at a resort in Phuket and work in hospitality internships by “shadowing managers” to practice what they have learned about Thai culture and customs related to the hospitality and tourism industry.

Leaving the 5th of May
The program will begin in Bangkok, and then move to Phuket, Thailand, one of the primary tourism areas of the country. During the first part of the program students will attend Prince Songkla University. Students will also study destination business management with a WSU professor, and visit a number of local tour operations such as diving, snorkeling, kayaking, culture and heritage, and animal and nature adventures.
