Tourism and hospitality schools in Singapore are positioning their students to ride the wave of digital innovation and sustainability.
“The schools have also introduced new course modules that pivot towards digital and hybrid hospitality management as well as sustainability,” said Minister of State for Trade and Industry Low Yen Ling.
Addressing students from tourism and hospitality courses at the opening of fourth joint polytechnic-ITE hospitality and tourism career fair organised by Republic Polytechnic, Ms Low added: “You will have the opportunity to immerse yourselves in augmented and virtual reality, and at the same time, be familiar with a wide variety of green efforts that aim to reduce carbon footprint.”
RP’s School of Hospitality has incorporated modules on digital marketing, data analytics, innovation, entrepreneurship and sustainability in its courses since 2020.
