Professor Mary McNamara also said that the Irish government is giving priority to this sector, thus interested gradutes can stay and work in Ireland for 2 years. This is indeed a good opportunity for Tourism students to gain international experience and increase their employment opportunities, especially in the ASEAN region.

Prof. Bui Thi Tam affirmed the interest of the School of Hospitality and Tourismto the issues proposed by the Dublin Institute of Technology, and will include a priority action plan to speed up realization of cooperative programs with DIT.
