By observing and learning from established practices in tourism and hospitality education, the CCDC faculty members strengthened their commitment to providing relevant, industry-responsive, and quality instruction to their students.
Moreover, the benchmarking visit highlighted the importance of continuous improvement in higher education, especially in the tourism and hospitality industries, which require competent, skilled, and service-oriented graduates. The knowledge and insights gained from the activity may serve as a guide in identifying opportunities to improve curriculum delivery, instructional practices, industry engagement, and the overall learning environment of the institution.
The participation of the CCDC faculty members reflects the college’s dedication to academic excellence and its commitment to continuously improving the quality of education offered to future tourism and hospitality professionals. Through activities such as this, the institution continues to seek opportunities to learn from other educational institutions, strengthen its programs, and prepare students for the demands and opportunities of the tourism and hospitality industry.
