Fifty of our Level 2 & 3 Travel & Tourism and Catering students, along with department staff members, took an exciting trip to the coastal towns of southwestern Italy at the end of March.
During the educational trip, students were based in Sorrento and immersed themselves in a rich tapestry of cultural experiences in the nearby towns. From the iconic central landmarks of Sorrento to the picturesque island of Capri, and the beautiful scenery of the Amalfi coast, they delved into the heart of Italian hospitality and tourism.
Through guided tours, and firsthand experiences, they learned about the intricate art of Italian cuisine, the nuances of hospitality management, and the diverse attractions scattered across the region. Whether exploring the ancient streets of Sorrento, savouring authentic gelato in Capri, or discovering the hidden gems of the Amalfi coast, each destination offered invaluable insights into the multifaceted world of travel and tourism. With each town and area visited, they gained a deeper understanding of Italy's rich history, vibrant culture, and legendary hospitality industry.
We are so pleased to offer trips like this to our learners, which give them an opportunity to explore their subjects outside of the classroom and be exposed to different cultures and experiences.
The trip was a huge success, and some fantastic memories were made by our students and teaching staff!
