EXPLORING HOSPITALITY HORIZONS: BS Hospitality Management Industrial Tour 2025

The 4th year Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management (BSHM) students of CCDC, under the Industrial Tour course, recently embarked on a two-day immersion tour at Manila and Clark on November 20-21, 2025. This journey was designed to provide firsthand experience to students in the hospitality establishments that offer unique perspectives on service excellence and hotel management. One of the key highlights of the tour was the students’ stay at the 4-star Azumi Boutique Hotel in Alabang, Muntinlupa.

Their overnight experience allowed them to observe and appreciate the hotel’s guest service quality from a guest’s point of view. Alongside, they also toured City Garden Hotel in Manila, where they gained deeper insights on food and beverage operations and the daily workflow of hotel staff.

To further enrich their learning experience, the students attended a series of industry focused seminars and workshops at the Magsaysay Center for Hospitality and Culinary Arts (MIHCA), one of the country’s premier training institutions for aspiring hospitality and culinary professionals.

The sessions were facilitated by seasoned practitioners who shared their extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of the global hospitality landscape. The seminars helped broaden the students’ understanding of the industry and provided a clearer picture of the diverse career paths available to future hospitality professionals. 

Another standout feature of the tour was the hands-on visit to the Godel Chocolate Factory, where the students were introduced to the intricate world of artisanal chocolate making. They observed each stage of production from cacao bean selection and fermentation to grinding, molding and packaging allowing them to appreciate the craftsmanship behind premium chocolates. The highlight of the workshop was an opportunity for the students to create and design their own chocolate bars.

The tour served as a valuable opportunity for students to connect classroom learning with real-world applications, strengthening their understanding of the hospitality industry and inspiring them to pursue excellence in their future careers.
