This pivotal meeting marked another milestone in strengthening the bridge between global education initiatives and cultural exchange.
Mr. Zhang, who also serves as President of the Sichuan Provincial Private Travel Agency Association and Special Vice President of the Sichuan Enterprise Confederation and Entrepreneur Association, brought a wealth of experience and insight to the table. Together with President Xiao, they contributed to a rich dialogue on the evolving landscape of tourism education and global study programs.
Touring a Campus Where Ecology Meets Tourism
The visit began with a guided tour of Sichuan Tourism University’s history exhibition hall. Here, the delegation delved into the university’s long-standing legacy in cultivating tourism professionals. With roots deeply embedded in the ethos of “serving the tourism industry,” Sichuan Tourism University has been a trailblazer in nurturing innovation and excellence in education.
The journey continued through the university’s lush campus botanical garden—an embodiment of their “Ecology + Tourism” educational philosophy. This unique setting seamlessly integrates environmental stewardship with tourism management, creating a vibrant learning atmosphere. The botanical garden reflects the university’s forward-thinking commitment to sustainability and experiential learning, critical values for future global leaders.
Spotlight on the “1+1+1” Industry-Education Integration Model
One of the most profound aspects of the visit was the in-depth exploration of Sichuan Tourism University’s acclaimed “1+1+1” model of industry-education integration. This innovative model strategically combines:
- One cluster of academic programs
- One specialized research institution
- One collaborative industry-education platform
This triad approach breaks down traditional silos separating academia, research, and real-world practice. Students benefit from interdisciplinary education, cutting-edge research initiatives, and immersive industry experiences, preparing them for the dynamic demands of the global tourism sector.
The “1+1+1” model has been widely recognized for its effectiveness and was awarded First Prize in the Sichuan Province Vocational Education Teaching Achievement Awards.
