International Tourism Management students hosted a tourism exhibition covering countries from around the world.Â
First year students were each given a country to research in depth and were asked to present their findings in the form of an exhibition. They had to look at a range of socio-cultural and economic factors and take these into consideration when providing a detailed information poster suitable for tourists.Â
Students Rutendo Nembaware and La-Shawn Williams acted as hosts for the event, greeting guests at the door and giving them a brief but informative overview of their tourism research – much like an international industry tour guide would be expected to do.Â
Neil Porteous, Module Leader, said: “Academic posters provide students with an opportunity to express their findings in a particularly creative way, which is different to the traditional essay and report format.â€Â
The group also included Erasmus students Una Savchenko, from Latvia, Celene Louy, from France, and Milda Blazaityte and Justina Ramaneckaite – both from Lithuania.Â
