𝐁𝐒𝐇𝐌 𝐄𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋 & 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝟐𝐍𝐃 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒

Second-year students of the Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management (BSHM) of Aklan State University (ASU)-Ibajay immersed themselves in an Educational and Learning Exposure last April 22-24, 2026 at Alta Vista Boracay Island, Malay, Aklan.

Before the tour officially began, the students first attended a pre-deployment orientation where important reminders, schedules, rules, and safety precautions were discussed by their instructors. During the orientation, the students were informed about the different hotels available for accommodation, and they were given the opportunity to choose the hotel where they wanted to stay. The instructors also explained the benefits and advantages of joining the educational tour.

On April 22, 2026, after arriving at Alta Vista de Boracay, the students were warmly welcomed by the hotel staff and were served welcoming drinks, which made them feel appreciated after the long trip. Afterwards, they had lunch together before preparing for the scheduled activities. After settling into their hotel rooms, the students participated in a land tour around Boracay. During the tour, they visited different tourist spots, establishments, and attractions around the island. They observed that many establishments strictly followed environmental rules and cleanliness policies to maintain the island’s beauty and comfort for tourists. This experience helped the students understand that hospitality workers and tourism employees carry the responsibility of maintaining quality service while protecting the environment. During their free time, the students were able to relax and enjoy bonding activities with one another which became memorable moments that allowed students to relax, strengthen their friendships, and enjoy each other’s company outside the classroom environment.

On April 23, 2026, the second day of the educational tour focused on seminars and practical training activities related to the hospitality industry. In the morning, the students attended seminars conducted by professionals and speakers from the hospitality industry where the students gained valuable knowledge, new ideas, and important information related to hotel operations, customer service, professionalism, and hospitality management. After the seminar, the students were randomly grouped together with other sections and divided into four groups for the actual practical training.

In the afternoon, the students participated in practical training activities where they were able to apply and experience the lessons discussed during the seminars. One of the training activities focused on housekeeping operations. The students learned proper bed-making procedures, room arrangement, towel folding, and cleaning techniques. The students also learned about front office operations, where they observed how front office staff welcomed guests, answered inquiries, handled reservations, and provided assistance professionally. Another training activity focused on cooking operations, where the students learned about food preparation, sanitation, teamwork, and kitchen organization. The students also participated in bartending activities where they learned basic beverage preparation, serving procedures, and customer interaction.
Aside from the educational activities, the second day also became memorable because of the socialization night held in the evening. After a tiring but productive day, the students were able to relax and enjoy themselves together with their classmates and teachers through a socialization night.

On April 24, 2026, the final day of the educational tour in Boracay, the students participated in a series of team-building activities that happened at the Puka Beach which consisted of various games and challenges that required strong cooperation and unity among group members. Each activity emphasized the importance of working together and supporting one another in order to achieve a common goal. In addition, the team-building activities highlighted the importance of cooperation in the hospitality industry. In hotels and restaurants, employees from different departments must work together to provide excellent service and ensure guest satisfaction.

As the tour came to an end, the students felt both happiness and emotion as their three-day experience in Boracay concluded. Before leaving, they reflected on everything they had learned and experienced. It became clear that the educational tour was not only about visiting places and having fun, but also about gaining valuable lessons, strengthening friendships, and preparing for future careers in the hospitality industry.

The said education and learning exposure for second-year BSHM students served as a learning experience that covers the academic courses of Front Office Operation, Housekeeping Operation, Specialty Cuisine, Applied Business Tool, and Quality Service of the BSHM program. Ultimately, this educational tour aimed to expose learners to industry-level demonstrations and simulations in different areas of the hospitality and tourism sector that will further equip students with relevant knowledge and essential experience to become career-ready hoteliers and as future-ready hospitality professionals.

Messages of appreciation, inspiring realizations, and shared experiences highlighted how the educational tour became more than just an academic requirement — it became a meaningful journey of friendship, personal growth, learning, and inspiration.

A graduation ceremony then followed, courtesy of our onboard training officers and facilitators, who ensured that all student trainees were properly guided, supervised, and well taken care of throughout the onboard training experience. Their support and expertise greatly contributed to making the activity educational, safe, and memorable for everyone.

The culminating activity reminded everyone that beyond the destinations visited and lessons learned, the greatest part of the journey was the memories created together — memories that will forever remain in the hearts of these future hospitality and tourism professionals. 🚢✨
