Hotel Chinese training

According to the data of the United Nations World Tourism Organization, since 20 12, China has been the world's largest consumer of outbound tourism for many years. There is a growing demand for Chinese-speaking tourism talents in various countries. "Chinese+Tourism" course and training are welcomed by many tourism practitioners and Chinese learners. International Chinese teachers follow the trend and help students develop their careers by providing professional courses and developing local teaching materials to meet their learning needs.

The training courses have been widely welcomed.

In Egypt, the course "International Chinese Tour Guide Practice" jointly offered by Cairo University and Hebei Tourism Vocational College started online a few days ago. The course provides a platform for Egyptian tour guide practitioners and China students who are about to enter the tour guide industry to learn and communicate.

Online courses include not only Chinese teaching, but also tour guide service and hotel management. Students can learn professional knowledge related to tourism, such as booking tickets, asking for directions, shopping, sightseeing and explaining. The two sides said that the cooperative development of the "Chinese+Tourism" project is a useful attempt to deepen international exchanges and serve the needs of students. I hope this course can promote further cooperation between the two sides and train more excellent Chinese tour guides.

In Bali, Indonesia, a special China tourism training course attracted more than 20 staff members of the Tourism Bureau. At the opening ceremony, I Putu Astawa, director of Bali Tourism Bureau, encouraged students to learn Chinese well and improve their ability to use Chinese at work.

Some students said that the development of tourism in Bali urgently needs a large number of Chinese talents, and the courses held this time are timely. We should try our best to improve our Chinese, hoping to provide better service for China tourists in the future and enhance the understanding and friendship between the two peoples.

In South Africa, Brazil, Panama, France and other places, "Chinese+"training for airports, customs, hotels, restaurants and other tourism-related industries is also very popular.

Adapt to local needs and develop local teaching materials

"Mountain country" Nepal is rich in tourism resources, and tourism is the local pillar industry. With the increasing number of tourists from China, Nepalese tourism urgently needs to train professionals who understand Chinese.

In response to this demand, Li Wanxian and Liu Xinyuan, international Chinese teachers, jointly compiled a local textbook, Chinese for Tour Guides in Nepal.

"Chinese tour guides are a popular job in the local area. Many young Nepalese want to learn Chinese and become tour guides. Those who are already tour guides also want to improve their Chinese. However, there was no Chinese textbook for tour guides in Nepal before, so we compiled this textbook based on the existing Chinese teaching materials. " Liu Yuyuan said.

This textbook tells the story of a China family visiting under the guidance of a Nepalese guide. It has stories and plots, pays attention to oral communication, has a clear target audience, and more importantly, has Nepali notes, which fills the gap in the current Chinese learning textbooks in related fields and is highly targeted and practical.

Some students who are engaged in tour guide work said: "This textbook is developed in the form of stories, with real scenes and practical dialogues, which is of great help to my daily work."

Constantly innovate and enrich learning resources.

As a world-famous tourist destination, Thailand attracts thousands of tourists from China every year. Although the epidemic has had a certain impact on the tourism industry, the demand for local "Chinese+tourism" learning is still strong.

Therefore, from July, 2020, international Chinese teachers who teach locally began to organize the compilation of a local Chinese teaching material for tourism in Thailand-Travel All over Thailand (bilingual version).

"In 2009 and 20 14, we published the local textbook" Chinese+Tourism ". Nowadays, with the development of international Chinese education and tourism, the teaching objectives and teaching methods of the course' Chinese+Tourism' have undergone great changes, and it is urgent to compile new textbooks. " Yang Wenbo, editor-in-chief of Quantai and an international Chinese teacher, said.

The textbook is divided into 20 lessons, including visa, airport pick-up, hotels, banks, asking for directions, taking a bus, traveling, shopping and other topics. The content of the text is interspersed with the above topics according to the travel order from northern Thailand to southern Thailand, and arranged according to the characteristics of oral English class. It is suitable for junior Chinese learners in Thai universities, primary and secondary schools, vocational colleges and tourism-related industries, and the corpus selection pays more attention to localization and practicality.

Yang Wenbo said that as far as Chinese textbooks for tourism are concerned, there are not many similar national textbooks in Thailand. I hope this textbook can help the teaching of "Chinese+Tourism" in Thailand.

In addition, local textbooks related to "Chinese+Tourism" have been published in Portugal, Kenya, Italy, Brazil and other countries, which have served local students well.
