Professor Lim Sang Taek said: “The Travel Day is aimed especially at students who plan to become tour guides. I hope that, with the hands-on knowledge and skills they gain today, they will all have a better understanding of the Travel and Tourism industry and current market requirements.”
Representatives from local travel agencies talked about how to create and manage a tour, what you need to know about being a tour guide and the current Travel Management environment.

To be a successful tour guide, students need to expand their hands-on knowledge and enhance their creative, presentation, communication and problem solving skills by national and foreign travel. The DTU Center of Professional Tourism Training introduced a new Tour Guide course, including modules on required tour guide skills, customer preferences, interpersonal skills and medical tourism.
Qualified graduates will be granted a Professional Tour Guide certificate by DTU, which is vital when applying for a Professional Tour Guide ID from Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
