Apr 1/19

Welcome back everyone! I hope you are all feeling rested and had a nice break.

Today we completed parts 4 and 5 of the Event Planning section. I also handed out the event planning term assignment. You will need to complete sections 1 and 2 of the assignment by the end of the week.

Supervision textbooks were also issued. If you have still not paid your course fees, please do so before you obtain a textbook. 

Mar 14/19

Happy Spring everyone!

Over spring break, your homework is to finish SuperHost (and WorkSafe if you haven’t done it yet) and to research a particular event that interests you for an upcoming project. For example, if you are interested in planning a music festival, research a festival of the type you would like to plan- find out everything you can about it from historical data, ticketing, and attendance numbers to site and entertainment. This research portion will be a part of your final grade for this project, so you must display your findings in an organized and presentable way.

Have a great Spring Break everyone!!!

March 12/19

Yesterday we had two wonderful hotel tours downtown at the The Burrard & Sutton Place. Field trip assignments were done today in class.

Today we had an excellent guest speaker from BCIT- Morgan Westcott. She shared a ton of helpful information about the tourism industry and the tourism program at BCIT.

For tomorrow, please consider what type of fictional event you would be interested in planning for an upcoming project. Also- keep working on SuperHost!
