Sport tourism

Honestly, this was my first time to visit Brooklyn Bridge Park. Visiting Brooklyn Bridge Park was giving me a good and unforgettable experience for me.

Sport tourism is an important topic for people who travel to a place. They have different feeling and experiences in some ways by doing some activities.

During the class trip, I observed some people who running and walking dog in the morning when I was walking around the hotel. The weather is actually a little bit cold in that day, but they keep doing it, probably every day. I saw there are a few basketball courts from a distance. I believe that there will be a lot people doing sports during summer in Brooklyn Bridge Park, Including Soccer, fishing, riding bikes, even boating, and so on.

Hotel Site Visit

First, I have to thank our professor provided this great opportunity to visit a hotel for us. I was so enjoy visiting the Nomo soho hotel, because I have learned how a hotel is operating. Nomo soho is a four stars and luxury hotel come with 24 floor and 264 rooms. It located in the center of Manhattan. What I like about this hotel is all people who work there, they were so friendly and enthusiasm. They were welcoming us and servicing us all the time, they got some cookies, pastries and some coffee for us, and I could see that smiling on there faces all the time. In addition, the most exciting part was showing us and walking around the hotel. The most unforgettable thing for me was standing at the top of hotel which it comes with a balcony so that I could see the whole gorgeous viewing of Manhattan. I think that is most expensive room of hotel. We also visited some different size and structure rooms, and I noticed that there is a mobile phone in each room that you can take the phone out while traveling this city, probably it had all the app you need or the data you can use. Standing on the hotel side, this a good way to make money, that was also how business was doing. What was the most significant information I have learned while at the Nomo soho hotel is a good hotel does not depend on how good the equipment is, but has a high-quality service, I mean the equipment from hotel is important, but for nowadays, it is not a robot times for hotel yet, therefore, the conversation between people and people is more important while doing hotel business.

As we all know, in our 20s is the most confusing time in our life, because we have to face the choices of future career. In most families, parents have high expectations for their children’s future careers. They prefer their children to be lawyers, doctors, office workers, etc. I’m glad that my parents didn’t put pressure on me when I made my decision but supported me in everything I did. My goal is to graduate and improve my cooking skill and learn more about hospitality management. Being a chef or serving in a hotel is my career goal. that’s why I finally choose hospitality management as my major. I hope this a right decision for me. Life is experience, simple, I love to eat, and I love to cook for myself and my family. I wish I could see a happy smile on their faces because when people feel happy, I feel happy. I hope I’ve made the right decision and won’t disappoint my parents. keeping a passion for learning hospitality is my strength, the more knowledge I learn, the more opportunities I will have for my future life.
