Hotel Management Program, School of Humanities and Tourism Management, organized a curriculum enhancement activity under the theme "Holistic Health: Mental and Spiritual Recovery to enhance knowledge in holistic healthcare" for students in Spa Operations and Management and Spa Management courses.
This activity aimed to help students understand and experience holistic healthcare in dimensions of mind, emotions, and inner energy, which are essential elements of service delivery in the modern spa industry that emphasizes balance both internally and externally.
During the event, students participated in Sound Healing Therapy activities, using frequency waves from therapeutic instruments to help adjust brain waves, stimulate concentration, and create inner mental balance. Students practiced mindful listening, stress reduction, and learned techniques that can be applied to various forms of healthcare services.
