HSLU Sustainable Tourism

All we can say is: enjoy ☀️

Whether you’re already on semester break or still finishing assignments or internship days, we wish you plenty of energy for the final stretch and some well-deserved downtime afterwards.

You’ve got this!

This time, our student Rayana'Z shares insights from her internship at Hilton Hotels in Tashkent, where she gained valuable experience in the hospitality industry.

We’re looking forward to hearing even more about her learnings when she joins us in Lucerne this autumn. Until then, enjoy your semester break, Rayana! ☀️

You have spent months exploring new countries, navigating unfamiliar cities, meeting people from all over the world, and discovering just how much there is beyond the place you call home.

Perhaps you backpacked through South America. Travelled across Southeast Asia. Worked seasonal jobs to fund your next adventure. Or simply experienced the freedom of waking up each day without knowing exactly what would happen next.
And then, sooner or later, the same question arrives.

What’s next?

New Internship Story 🌍

This time, .a shares her experience interning at the Tourism Committee of Andijan in Uzbekistan — a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the tourism sector. ✨

We can’t wait to welcome you to our Lucerne Campus in September, Ziyoda!

Two semesters in Madrid flew by faster than our students ever imagined. ✈️

What started with a first day of studies soon turned into so much more than lectures, assignments, and classrooms. It became shared moments, new friendships, laughter, challenges, growth, and memories that will stay far beyond this chapter.

As the academic year comes to an end, a new one begins with many different paths ahead. Some of you will head into exchange semesters, some will explore new countries alongside your studies, others will continue their journey from home.

But first: good luck with your upcoming exams. You’ve got this. 💪📚

You’ve probably been misled about studying tourism 👀

It’s not just the service sector in hospitality. It’s strategy, innovation, and sustainability that we are teaching. We prepare job-ready graduates ready to shape destinations and businesses. Future leaders. Consultants. Marketers. Entrepreneurs.

Maybe you. 🌍

…okay, jokes aside.

We know May tends to speed up the semester. Workload increases, deadlines overlap, and expectations — especially your own — can feel heavier than usual.

So while we laugh about student life, here’s the real reminder:

May you remember that learning matters more than grades.
May you trust that progress doesn’t always look perfect.
May you notice how much you’ve already grown.
May you ask for support when things feel overwhelming.

You’re not just finishing assignments — you’re building skills, confidence, and your future step by step.

You’ve got this 🌱
