Pelajar Terokai Eko Pelancongan Di Pulau Pangkor Trip

SEGi has once again demonstrated its commitment to excellence and sustainable development through a recent educational trip undertaken by students of the University of Sunderland’s Bachelor of Science in International Tourism and Hospitality Management programme.

The visit to Pangkor Island provided an invaluable opportunity for students to gain practical insights into the intricacies of tourism dynamics, hospitality standards, and cultural heritage. This initiative aligns perfectly with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).

During their visit, students explored the island’s vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life, which underscored the importance of sustainable tourism practices and eco-friendly tourism management. By engaging in hands-on activities, students were able to witness firsthand the delicate balance between tourism and environmental conservation, echoing the principles of SDG 14 (Life Below Water). This immersive experience reinforced the critical need for sustainable marine tourism, emphasizing conservation efforts that protect these valuable ecosystems.

The trip also included a tour of the island’s main mosque, where students gained insights into local religious practices and the role of cultural tourism in promoting and respecting cultural heritage. This aspect of their visit highlighted the significance of SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions), promoting inclusivity and understanding through respectful engagement with diverse cultural traditions. The students’ experiences at the mosque underscored the importance of fostering intercultural dialogue and mutual respect in the tourism industry.
