Alumni story / Higher Diploma in Events & Tourism Management
From neighbourhood walks to city events
Events and tourism graduate Jason Ho is now an event coordinator. His first time leading a group was a neighbourhood walk on the programme.
Every event is really a route: you need to know where your guests will go next.
Leading the first walk
Our team designed a walking tour of an old street. On the first run I was nervous and talked too fast; a teammate at the back signalled me to pause so people could take photos.
Running a campus event
In year two we ran a public event, handling everything from the budget and suppliers to the registration desk on the day. That was where I learned to plan a backup for everything.
Work today
I now coordinate exhibitions and corporate events. I still walk the venue first, just as we did when designing a tour route.
