MY REFLECTION

I HAVE LEARNED SEVERAL THINGS THROUGHOUT THIS

SUBJECT THAT WILL HELP ME IN THE FUTURE, AND THAT WILL
HELP ME GROW AS A PERSON, AS WELL. MICRO PERSPECTIVE
OF TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY COVERED THE WORKINGS,
OPERATIONS, AND THE INTEGRATIVE ACTIVITIES OF THE
MAJOR STAKEHOLDERS IN THE TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY
INDUSTRY. I ALSO GAIN KNOWLEDGE ON MANAGING AND
MARKETING A SERVICE-ORIENTED BUSINESS ORGANIZATION.
I ALSO LEARNED THAT A TOURIST IS GENERALLY ONLY
CLASSED AS SUCH IF THEY STAY IN OVERNIGHT
ACCOMMODATION SITUATED IN THE LOCATION THEY TRAVEL
TO. BY ITS VERY NATURE, TOURISM INVOLVES A ROUND TRIP,
RATHER THAN TRAVEL IN ONE DIRECTION ONLY. WITH THIS IN
MIND, THE TOURISM INDUSTRY REFERS TO ALL ASPECTS OF
THE SERVICE INDUSTRY THAT CATER TO TOURISTS. TRAVEL
REFERS TO THE ACT OF MOVING FROM ONE LOCATION TO
ANOTHER. THIS CAN REFER TO LONGDISTANCE TRAVEL,
SHORT-DISTANCE TRAVEL, OVERSEAS TRAVEL, DOMESTIC
TRAVEL AND VARIOUS OTHER FORMS. CRUCIALLY, TRAVEL
ALSO INCLUDES BOTH ROUND TRIPS AND ONE-WAY
JOURNEYS, AND IT COVERS A WIDE VARIETY OF DIFFERENT
TRAVEL PURPOSES. THE TRAVEL INDUSTRY, THEREFORE,
REFERS TO THE NUMEROUS ASPECTS OF THE WIDER SERVICE
INDUSTRY WHICH CATER FOR THE NEEDS AND DESIRES OF
THOSE WHO HAVE TRAVELLED FROM ONE PART OF THE
WORLD TO ANOTHER. APART FROM THE SCOPE AND
STRUCTURE OF THE TRAVEL ORGANIZATIONS, IT PROVIDES
AN IN DEPTH STUDY OF THE NATURE AND DISTINCTIVE
CHARACTERISTICS OF EACH SECTOR OF THE ENTIRE TOURISM
INDUSTRY, FOCUSING ON THE MANAGEMENT, ORGANIZATION
AND PLANNING OF SPECIFIC BUSINESS STRATEGIES FOR THE
VARIOUS ENTITIES IN THE LOCAL SETTING.THIS IS ALSO
INVOLVING THE ANALYSIS OF THE POSSIBLE IMPACTS OF
EXTERNAL FACTORS AND TRENDS ON THE DIFFERENT
TOURISM INDUSTRY SECTORS AND SPECIFIC TYPES OF
BUSINESSES. IT WILL ALSO LOOK INTO CLIENT PROFILING
SUCH AS TRAVEL MOTIVATIONS AND INFLUENCES AS IT
RELATES TO ALIGNING STRATEGIC AND TACTICAL SOLUTIONS
TO THE BUSINESS.
 THIS SUBJECT IDENTIFIES THE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
AVAILABLE IN EACH SECTOR AND THE CORRESPONDING
QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE JOBS. A MICRO PERSPECTIVE
FOCUSES ON INDIVIDUAL REACTIONS TO CHANGES IN ONE’S
OWN WORKPLACE. IT HELPS ME TO KNOW ON HOW CHANGES IN
DAILY WORK AFFECT KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS ON THE
INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP LEVEL. IT IS ARGUED THAT THE MICRO
PERSPECTIVES ARE ADVANTAGEOUS IF EDUCATIONAL GOALS
ARE PURSUED WHICH AIM AT FOSTERING WORKPLACE
MY REFLECTION

LEARNING AND COMPETENCE DEVELOPMENT. THERE ARE

DIFFERENT SECTORS IN TRAVEL INDUSTRY SUCH AS THE AIR
INDUSTRY, LODGING COMPANIES, TRAVEL AGENCIES, CRUISE
LINES, TOUR OPERATORS ETC. WHEN I THINK ABOUT WHAT
COUNTS AS LEARNING TO ME, I THINK ABOUT MY LIFE. JUST
BEING ABLE TO LIVE IN THIS WORLD TO ME IS A LEARNING
EXPERIENCE BECAUSE I FEEL THAT MY LIFE IS FULL OF LESSONS,
AND I BELIEVE THAT IT TAKES LESSONS TO LEARN IN LIFE. I
FEEL THAT I HAVE LEARNED TO UNDERSTAND LEARNING MORE
AND TO ALSO UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF LEARNING. I ALSO
LEARNED THE TYPES OF LODGING THAT WAS DISCUSSED BY MS.
RICHELLE CANLAS ZAMORA, I FIND HER LESSONS VERY
INTERESTING THAT I WANTED TO EXPERIENCE SOMEDAY. AS I
GET OLDER, I CAN COMPREHEND SUBJECT MATTERS MORE THAN
I COULD EVER DO BEFORE.I AM LEARNING TO BE MORE
SERIOUS, AND I FIND MYSELF NOT TAKING LIFE FOR GRANTED
ANYMORE. I NOW LOOK FORWARD TO LEARNING NEW THINGS
EVERY DAY. I FEEL THAT I AM BEGINNING TO HAVE A PASSION
FOR LEARNING. I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD FEEL THIS
WAY ABOUT LEARNING BECAUSE I NEVER DID APPRECIATE IT
LIKE I DO NOW. I NOW ACTUALLY YEARN TO LEARN; I FEEL THAT
I NEED TO LEARN NEW THINGS.EVERY ASSIGNMENT I HAVE
DONE IN THIS SUBJECT IS TEACHING ME SOMETHING NEW. I
THINK I FEEL THIS WAY BECAUSE I AM MATURING, AND I NOW
VIEW LEARNING DIFFERENTLY THAN I DID. THE MORE I GET
OLDER, THE MORE I AM INTERESTED IN THE WORLD. I AM
INTERESTED IN MANY THINGS. I WANT TO LEARN TO OVERCOME
VARIOUS THINGS. FROM UNDERSTANDING OF OTHER
OCCUPATIONS TO UNDERSTANDING OTHER PEOPLE AND
FOREIGN CULTURES. CURIOSITY IS NOT ONLY IN THE OUTSIDE
WORLD, BUT ALSO IN MYSELF. I WORK HARD EVERY DAY TO
LEARN MORE ABOUT MYSELF. I REALLY ENJOYED THIS SUBJECT
FOR THIS SEMESTER.
