Recently, students from two Event Management classes under the Hospitality Management and International Business programs at the VNUK Institute for Research and Executive Education – The University of Danang enjoyed an enriching field trip to Sheraton Grand Danang Beach Resort & Spa – one of the most luxurious 5-star resorts in Da Nang City.
Exploring a Global Brand – Marriott International
During the visit, students were warmly welcomed by the management team of Sheraton Grand Danang Beach Resort & Spa, who shared insightful information about Marriott International – one of the largest hotel groups in the world – and the Sheraton Grand brand, renowned for its refined service style and international standards.
In addition to learning about the resort’s scale and operations, students toured the convention center, lobby area, The Grill restaurant, and luxury guest rooms – all of which exemplify the high standards of quality and customer experience in the Hospitality & Event Management industry.
Learning from Practice – Cultivating Passion and Dedication
One of the most memorable moments of the trip came when The Grill restaurant manager shared a heartfelt message: “No matter what role you play or what position you hold in a hotel or restaurant, always love what you do.”
Though simple, this message deeply resonated with the students, highlighting the importance of passion, responsibility, and dedication – core values that define success in the service and event industries.
Bridging Theory and Practice – Strengthening Career Readiness
The trip to Sheraton Grand Danang Beach Resort & Spa is part of VNUK’s experiential learning activities designed to connect classroom knowledge with real-world practice. It helps students enhance their observation, analytical, and professional communication skills.
Through this experience, students gained a deeper understanding of hotel operations, event organization, and customer service – essential components in the broader landscape of Tourism, Hospitality & Event Management.
