THE Institute of Tourism and Hotel Management of Far Eastern University is considering entering into educational partnerships with schools and hotels overseas.

Top officials of FEU-ITHM conducted a four-day benchmarking and site visit in Batam, Indonesia, and Singapore.

Associate Dean John Lester Tuason and Associate Department Chair-Internship Carolina Roces led the delegation.

“The series of meetings is part of the strengthening of ITHM’s internationalization initiatives,” the school stated.
