Overview
The Sustainable Tourism Professional Practicum (STPP) runs for six weeks in Indonesia, including a two-week intensive Indonesian language study and industry-led seminars at the Indonesian partner university, followed by a four-week supervised industry placement. The program runs from early January to mid-February each year. This program is supported by The Australian Government's New Colombo Plan Mobility Program.
Details
The Sustainable Tourism Professional Practicum (STPP) consists of an initial two weeks of intensive Indonesian language instruction and English language lectures by local practitioners and experts in the field of sustainable tourism, followed by a four-week supervised practicum placement within a local or international tourism and hospitality company or organisation.
The program is designed to cater for students with no existing Indonesian language skills. Candidates with existing language skills are, however, very welcome.
Tourism is an important industry in many developing nations, where it supports economic development and propagates cultural heritage. This is undoubtedly the case in Indonesia which has a thriving tourism industry based on its abundant natural and cultural resources. The tourism industry in Indonesia, however, faces many challenges related to natural resource management and sustainable commercial practices. The need to develop sustainable tourism practices is a rapidly emerging issue in Indonesia as the industry – as it currently operates – continues to deplete the nation’s natural and environmental resources. ACICIS’ Sustainable Tourism Professional Practicum will provide Australian students with the opportunity to gain an understanding of the social, cultural and political systems that underpin the tourism industry in Indonesia, and to consider issues relating to sustainability and resource management within the sector. They will also gain practical skills in hospitality, management and other commercial practices within Indonesia’s tourism and hospitality sector.
