At Grand Hyatt Taipei, students experienced the scale and professionalism of an internationally recognized luxury hotel, gaining perspectives on hotel operations, service excellence, and the importance of teamwork in delivering world-class hospitality.

At Din Tai Fung Taipei, students discovered the dedication, precision, and consistency behind one of Taiwan’s most celebrated dining experiences. The visit offered a closer look at how culinary craftsmanship, operational efficiency, and attention to detail contribute to a restaurant’s global reputation.

The experience at Hotel Soden further broadened students’ understanding of hospitality practices and the diverse approaches to guest service within the industry. More than just an educational trip, this industry visit was an opportunity for students to connect classroom knowledge with professional practice, broaden their international perspectives, and gain inspiration for their future careers in hospitality.
