On May 3, 2024, at the Ho Chi Minh Presidential Palace, the team of the Faculty of Tourism Studies, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNU, participated in the Final Round of the Contest "Guide at the Ho Chi Minh Monument Site at the Presidential Palace". In the Final Round, the student team of the Faculty of Tourism Studies won the consolation prize in the individual and collective categories.
The contest is a playground for tourism students from many universities and colleges in Hanoi.
Speaking at the contest, Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Ho An Phong emphasized: “Maybe you will not become professional tour guides in the future, but that will serve you a lot, thereby enriching your experience and historical knowledge. That knowledge will be absorbed gradually, to do so, tour guides must regularly study, cultivate, have a noble soul and pure morality. Because at this relic site is where we spread Uncle Ho's morality. In this space, we learn from Uncle Ho's example, simple, pure, but also see the great historical stature".
In the sacred and warm space of the Relic Site, the teams performed 2 rounds including the team competition and the individual presentation competition. Through each competition of the Presentation Team, the aim is to contribute significantly to conveying to the people, compatriots, officers, soldiers and visitors to "Uncle Ho's House" profound emotions and messages.
After the competitions, the Faculty of Tourism team won the Encouragement Prize in both the team and individual competitions. The individual competition was performed by student Nguyen Thanh Duong from K65 Tourism and Travel Services Management. In his competition, Thanh Duong expressed the ideology, style and ethics of President Ho Chi Minh in an attractive, creative and unique way.
Sharing his feelings when winning the Encouragement Prize at the contest, student Thanh Duong said that each tour guide is a person who leads the public to cultural spaces, and inspires tourists, so not only do they need to have a good understanding of history and culture, but they also need to be creative and flexible to attract and appeal to a large number of tourists to historical sites, especially the Presidential Palace Relic Site.
