Do you think as a student majoring in tourism management, it is better for her to practice in a travel agency or a hotel during the summer vacation?

Hehe, I graduated from tourism hotel management in 2006. I have worked in hotels and travel agencies as you mentioned.

First of all, you should consider what you want to develop in the future, because the internship is also to pave the way for the future.

Travel Agency: Summer vacation is the peak season for tourism. If you can practice in a travel agency, you can exercise your ability of management, communication and independent problem solving, which is a good choice.

Hotel: The hotel is also in the peak season at this time. It's best to choose a better one with a higher star rating, get in touch with more people (get in touch with foreigners and improve your English), and learn to deal with people at different levels. If you make an exception, you should consider which department you are suitable for when choosing a hotel. I prefer to be a tour guide, hehe, if I were you, I would choose to be a tour guide.

Secondly, if you want to earn some tuition besides learning something, I suggest you be a tour guide. However, if you have never been a tour guide and are a novice, you'd better "keep your feet on the ground" and learn more "basic skills", because a tour guide is a great saint and needs a wide range of knowledge and strong communication skills.

Thirdly, consider your own conditions. If you are strong in hotel management, you can go to the hotel for an internship to learn the management methods and levels of the managers there, and then compare with yourself to learn from each other's strengths (but if you work in a hotel, if you have no experience, you should generally start from the class to see if you can survive); If you are good at communication, try to challenge yourself. As a tour guide, you will meet people of different levels and social status, and you may encounter many problems that need to be solved independently. The pressure is relatively high, and it really depends on your own ability.

If you are a freshman, don't be lazy. Learn both. After all, I learned my own. What you learn will be useful in the future, and there is no end to learning.

The above are personal opinions and experiences summarized from practice, which can be used as a reference for learning from each other ~ ~
