“I was invited to work in Rome as a front of desk intern, as part of the Turing Scheme. This was a fantastic experience as it helped me to meet employers within the hotel and to experience what it would be like to work in a 5* hotel.” GREGORY YU, TRAVEL & TOURISM AND AVIATIONS
“Over the past 2 years, Kingston College has been supportive as I have learnt how tourism plays an important part in the world and grateful for choosing something I love. My teachers (especially Mateo) always cared for us in each lesson as they were always open to questions after their presentation and wanted to help when we were working on our assignments. I am thankful for all the hours I have put in towards my assignments as I now progress towards the next step of my career.”
