RMIT's Amazing Vietnam Student Competition 2022

Overview

RMIT’s Tourism and Hospitality Management Programme ensures inclusive and quality education for all while promoting lifelong learning. The birth of Amazing Vietnam Student Competition (AVSC) proves that. To increase the quality of tourism and hospitality education, RMIT's AVSC will serve as a platform to create awareness and encourage high school students on the importance of the tourism industry to the Vietnamese economy. World tourism leaders have built resilience and incorporated innovation to create a sustainable future. Through the competition, AVSC seeks to encourage Vietnamese high-students to uncover Vietnam's treasures and, simultaneously, to share their experiences with visitors.  

The competition promotes creativity and enhances the participants' practical skills and knowledge in tackling real-world problems within the Vietnamese tourism industry. Specifically, this year, RMIT aims to focus on tourism's ability to stay resilient with innovation to create sustainable tourism for Vietnam.
