Philosophy:
Experiential Learning: I believe in the power of learning through practical experiences. Excursions offer a unique opportunity for students to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world settings, fostering a deeper understanding of concepts like planning, risk management, and cultural sensitivity.
Holistic Development: Education in excursion planning extends beyond logistical aspects. It encompasses leadership skills, cultural awareness, environmental consciousness, and ethical decision-making. This holistic approach shapes well-rounded professionals capable of navigating diverse contexts responsibly.
Sustainability and Responsibility: Central to my philosophy is instilling values of sustainable and responsible tourism. Students learn to minimize environmental impact, respect local cultures, and contribute positively to communities they visit, ensuring excursions leave a positive legacy.
Approach:
Hands-On Learning: Emphasizing practical application, the course integrates field trips, case studies, and simulations. These experiences allow students to engage directly with excursion planning processes, problem-solving, and decision-making in real or simulated environments.
Interdisciplinary Approach: Excursion education draws from various disciplines—geography, sociology, environmental studies, and business management—to provide a comprehensive understanding. This approach encourages diverse perspectives and a multifaceted approach to excursion planning.
Industry-Relevant Insights: Incorporating insights from industry professionals and guest speakers enriches the course. Their expertise offers real-world insights, current trends, and challenges, bridging the gap between academia and the industry.
Critical Thinking and Reflection: Encouraging critical thinking and reflective practices forms a core aspect. Students analyze and evaluate their experiences, learn from successes and challenges, and apply these reflections to refine their excursion planning skills.
Collaborative Learning: Promoting collaborative teamwork mirrors the reality of excursion planning. Group projects and discussions foster communication, teamwork, and shared responsibility, preparing students for the collaborative nature of the tourism industry.
Ethical Decision-Making: Ethical considerations are woven throughout the curriculum. Students engage in discussions about ethical dilemmas in tourism, encouraging them to make informed, responsible decisions in their future roles.
This philosophy and approach aim to create a dynamic learning environment where students not only grasp theoretical concepts but also develop practical skills, a sense of responsibility, and a mindset that values sustainable and ethical practices in excursion planning and management.
