10 months ago, I made it to become a university lecturer, apart from another full-time job offer for a hotel pre-opening project that together brought me so much joy in my career and life.
The World That She Lives In
At times I am approached by one person or another, asking whether or not an MBA Degree is really worth it. The truth is, the more you live in this life and the more you learn, it's just not that simple to give a yes or no answer to any type of question. In other words, the answer to most close ended question would rather be: It depends!
So, after 6 months of running to work like a maniac, I decided to start treating myself a little better with more 'me' time and time with friends. I invited the Alphas to join me on a trip to visit one of our sister's properties in Vietnam - at the Fusion Resort Cam Ranh. The trip was exactly what we needed for all of us to bond and for each of us to gain a different perspective of life.
After more than 10 years of work experiences in hospitality, I know I have not seen enough, but I often see myself stop expecting the unexpected. What do I expect? Not much, but a hotel that could give me a range of emotions. Once someone said this to me while referring to the project that I was chosen to work on: “You don’t have to try to be the best, you just need to be unique”.
The Art Journey has also been fascinating. I've been wondering how creative Art can get with his travel contents, but it seems to me he never really ran out of creativity. This guy has his genuine interest in learning new languages and culture, he can sing almost any song in any language. Here are some of photos taken from Art's Journey in Ho Chi Minh City.
As an planner, I’ve spent most of my 10 year-experience to organize business events, but I also had 2 years working as a wedding & special events planner. While being actively involved in multiple organizations, networking events have become a way of life for me. I’ve been organizing events and attending events all at the same time.
What I love about being a MICE Manager? You just need to develop yourself with all the skills that you have such as sales and marketing, communications, event planning, negotiations and creativity. In other words, you will need to get yourself the whole package. This is the job that literally covers every single revenue generation center in lodging and tourism including accommodation, food, transportation, lifestyles, education and social activities to target a group of affluent corporate travelers who are willing to spend more in order to meet their objectives. Imagine how much it would mean for the tourism industry of a destination to have MICE tourism as one of the top strengths, this is why the part of closing sales is crucial to ensure the revenue is locked to serve your personal and organizational target with the hotel and the destination. More importantly, MICE tourism would significantly leverage an image of the hospitality and tourism industry offered by the host country.
