Resort Management Study Abroad Program
-
Dec 2022 - Present
Punta Cana is one of the premier resort destination locations in the world, with an incredible diversity of resort experiences available (all inclusive, family, wedding destination, sustainable, etc.) The program includes an overview of hospitality in the Dominican Republic with instruction on various aspects of resort management including service, sports amenities, and food and beverage operations, cruise ship operations, destination weddings, marketing, agro-tourism, and crisis management. Through my participation in this program I developed my knowledge of the hospitality industry, with a focus on sustainability throughout all-inclusive resorts, through site inspections and a variety of additional hands-on learning experiences.
