touriSm StudentS tAke the trip of A lifetime<br />
A number of ECU Tourism students recently enjoyed an<br />
<strong>international</strong> learning experience, with a study tour through the<br />
diverse landscape and natural wonders of Sabah in Malaysian<br />
“Ecu has a great reputation in the Sport<br />
and Event Management industries.”<br />
I chose ECU as I knew it had a great industry reputation<br />
in the area I wanted to study. The <strong>course</strong> offered a lot<br />
of practical experience, which I knew would be really<br />
important for future employers. Over three years,<br />
I completed five practical placements.<br />
My highlights include successfully planning an annual<br />
dinner held at Burswood for the Sport Coaches of WA, and<br />
working for the Western Australian Football Association.<br />

The cruise ship tourism market is rapidly expanding, and ECU was<br />
the first university in the southern hemisphere to teach Cruise<br />
Ship Tourism within a tourism <strong>course</strong>. Students learn from leading<br />
industry professionals and undertake practical experiences, such<br />
as a Swan River cruise and a cruise ship tour at Fremantle Port,<br />
gaining insight into the operational side of this booming industry.
