Opportunities for students to study, research and accumulate practical knowledgeIn the last days of June, students of K68 Tourism and Travel Services Management and 08 double degree students from the Faculty of Tourism Studies, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNU eagerly embarked on a meaningful trip "Sunny Journey" under the guidance of experienced lecturers, MSc. Dinh Nhat Le - Head of the delegation and Dr. Vu Huong Lan - Instructor. The trip took place in 5 days and 5 nights from June 30 to July 5 with the route Hue - Hoi An - Da Nang.
With the guidance of lecturers from the Faculty of Tourism, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNU and the support of Asia Gate Travel Company, the preparations for the trip were planned and carried out by the students.
Each day of the “Sunny Journey” trip is truly meaningful for the students. That meaning comes from both the scenery and the people. If Hue is a golden heritage of a bygone era, both contemplative and proud, then Hoi An is a beautiful heritage of an entire urban trading culture, colorful and charming. Da Nang - the final stop brings the feeling of a contemporary heritage with an international breath and an integrated lifestyle.
Mr. Nguyen Van Dung - General Director of Asia Gate Travel Company shared: "Each trip with the children is not only for the purpose of sightseeing, entertainment, and finding interesting experiences, but it is also an opportunity to study, research, accumulate more practical knowledge as well as survey whether they are suitable for the tourism industry or not".

MSc. Dinh Nhat Le shared: “Each of your presence is a small ray of sunshine weaving the whole picture of “Sunny Journey”. Not only for the purpose of studying, VNU-USSH Tourism students travel to understand more about the country and its people, to love their homeland more; to love each tree branch, blade of grass, each mountain, each river, each dew drop, each ray of sunshine; to love each look, each smile more. Sometimes, they travel to understand themselves more, to love the colors of the Tourism flag more.
Unforgettable experiences and emotions of "Sunny Journey"The dreamy land of Hue welcomed the trainees with the first destination being the “first ancient temple” of Hue – Thien Mu Pagoda. The pagoda is located on Ha Khe hill on the northern bank of the Huong River, over 400 years old and is considered a cultural and religious symbol of the ancient capital.
