On August 5, the DSU Division of Tourism held its Second Tourism and MICE Professional Practitioner Course.
In total, 18 DSU students and 90 industry leaders and experts from 38 companies and public institutions participated in a variety of ways in the course. This course consisted of a wide range of customized lectures tailored to the needs of professionals in the tourism and MICE fields in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The lectures included: The 4th Industrial Revolution and Tourism Innovation, taught by Professor Kang Hae-sang of DSU; Travel Vlog Trends from the Perspective of Travelholics, taught by Travelholic CEO Jo Joon-gi; Human Movement from the Viewpoint of a Physicist (Point, Line, and Time), taught by Professor Kim Sang-wook of Kyung Hee University; and Self Expressionism—My Lifestyle, My Leisure, taught by Daumsoft (now VAIV) Vice President Song Gil-yeong.

The overall emphasis of the course was on overcoming the new, changed environment in 2020 and finding directions to move forward by strengthening the capabilities of practitioners amid the COVID-19 pandemic crisis in the tourism and MICE industries in Busan.
Attendees found this focus useful and informative, later leaving review comments such as: “I have been having a difficult time, unable to see the future clearly.

But the education I received today helped me a great deal in planning tourism products that utilize the culture of ‘untact’”; “I am so grateful that the experienced managers and practitioners shared their knowledge on topics that those in the field are greatly in need of information about”; and “Believe in and make sure to take advantage of the opportunities DSU offers! Everyone has eagerly attended since the first session today. I am deeply moved, and thankful I made time in my schedule to participate.” Indeed, despite the dark days the tourism and MICE industry are currently
experiencing, in light of these comments, it was clear that participants were able to see a glimpse of their industries’ bright futures and their own passionate, academic enthusiasm for the first time in a long time.
This was reflected in the marks they gave to their overall satisfaction of the course, which scored a very high 4.91 out of 5 points.

Hong Jung-hwa, Dean of the DSU Division of Tourism and head of the MICE Centum Industrial Complex Campus, said, “The Second Tourism and MICE Professional Practitioner Course is happening while we’re all having a difficult time with the COVID-19 pandemic. But if industry, academia, and governments can cooperate and help each other through difficult times in the tourism,3 and MICE industries, the so too can we all overcome these difficult times together.”
