Hospitality students dive into real-world learning at Ascott Gurney Penang

Educational tours have been incorporated into the curriculum of the SEGi School of Hospitality and Tourism to provide students with the opportunity to learn from industry players and gain first-hand experience. Students from Muhamad Irfan Bustaipo’s Introduction to Hospitality Industry and Event and Convention class recently visited the Ascott Gurney Penang on 7 March 2023. 

The educational visit’s main goal was to improve student learning by incorporating new perspectives and providing valuable professional development experience. During the visit, students were given an orientation by the General Manager, Sharon Ang, who shared the history and background of the Ascott Gurney Penang as well as insights into the hotel’s operations.
