In the ever-evolving landscape of tourism and hospitality, fostering a dynamic education collaboration between academia and the industry is crucial. Bukit Vista’s recent Round Table Talk (RTT) in Yogyakarta, a new venture beyond its Bali origins, exemplifies this commitment. This event, specifically designed to engage partners and potential collaborators from various sectors, has served as a beacon of progress and innovation. As Bukit Vista’s Public Relations Officer, I, Dea Novita, am thrilled to share the essence and outcomes of this enriching gathering.
A New Chapter in Yogyakarta: Strengthening Education Collaboration with Academia
The spotlight of the latest RTT shone brightly on February 12th, 2024, marking a significant collaboration with the University of Gadjah Mada (UGM). Among the honored attendees was Dr. Wiwik Sushartami, M.A., the Head of the UGM Tourism Bachelor Studies Program, underscoring our dedication to bridging industry insights with academic excellence.
This collaboration aimed to address misconceptions and unveil the reality of working with Bukit Vista, particularly addressing the concerns circulating among UGM Tourism students. Contrary to the rumors, Bukit Vista prides itself on offering a supportive and flexible working environment, especially for interns who balance their academic schedules with professional growth.
Educational Synergy through Guest Lectures
A pivotal aspect of our collaboration includes a series of guest lectures aimed at enriching UGM’s curriculum with real-world insights into tourism’s evolving dynamics. These sessions, led by esteemed academics and industry experts, are designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of technology, innovation, and future trends in tourism.
Moreover, our discussions on entrepreneurship in tourism with Pak Fahmy highlight the essence of practical knowledge and the entrepreneurial spirit in shaping future leaders of the industry. Bukit Vista’s transparent approach to its selection process and the innovative use of AI in operations further demonstrates our commitment to excellence and forward-thinking.
A Continued Partnership for Future Leaders
The Round Table Talk in Yogyakarta is a continuation of our efforts to solidify the relationship with UGM’s Tourism Bachelor Program. Following a constructive meeting with Dr. Wiwik, our CEO, Mr. Jing, explored various opportunities for guest lectures that align with Bukit Vista’s expertise in property management, revenue management, and business strategy. These initiatives are aimed at providing students with a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application, preparing them for successful careers in the tourism industry.
