Filed Visit of Third Year Students<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The third-year students of the Honours Degree in Entrepreneurship were taken on a field visit as part of the course unit Entrepreneurship in Tourism and Hospitality Management. The visit was organized and guided by Professor P. Selvarajan and Ms. S. Sabarjah, academic staff members of the Department of Management and Entrepreneurship.
\nThe students visited two prominent hotels in Vavuniya \u2014 Hotel Oviya and Hotel Nelly Star \u2014 on 30th July 2025. During the visit, they gained valuable insights into the significance of entrepreneurship in the tourism and hospitality industry. They explored the facilities offered by the hotels, operational requirements, and the best practices implemented to ensure guest satisfaction and contribute to regional development. Furthermore, the students observed the initiatives undertaken by the hotels to upgrade their services and infrastructure in pursuit of higher star ratings.<\/p>\n

Finally, as a part of their academic requirements, the students submitted a report based on their observations and learnings. <\/p>\n
