Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Thi Minh Hoa proposed implementing a form of training cooperation with support from relevant parties. Arizona State University will be a partner providing lecturers, training programs, and degrees. The program will be supported through the US government, the US Embassy in Vietnam, which is the main sponsor for students. At the same time, the school will call for additional sponsorship from tourism businesses and hotels. Because training hotel management experts in this program will provide a source of local human resources for those businesses and hotels.

The Vice Principal's proposal received approval from representatives of the Faculty of Natural Resources and Community Development. The success of the cooperation program will depend on the skillful presentation to the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, the US Embassy and the request for funding from the two universities.
