Please tell us the reasons why you decided to apply to the department/area of Sejong University to which you are applying (be specific). (200 (min.)~400 (max.) words)
I discovered about the bachelor's degree in hospitality and tourism management of Sejong university after doing tons of research and I strongly believe it would be a perfect match for me since Korea is one of the most developed countries in tourism. Furthermore, Sejong was the first one to open the course at university level and the institution has its own hotel, which brings the most practical environment, along with newly researched and developed theories and technologies.
Moreover, It is not difficult to recognize nowadays people are becoming fond of the idea that they should come in for a better living standard than working tirelessly in order to save the fortune. One of common choices to relieve people from their stressful life, is travelling. Due to the fact that many countries are now engaged in the relationship with other countries and numerous airlines increasingly operate new and cheap routes to different places, it turns out to be much easier for people to travel. For example, between 2014 and 2015, three direct routes linking Incheon to different parts of Vietnam (Hanoi, Danang, Hochiminh city) were launched by various Korean and Vietnamese airlines. Additionally, the world has become globalized which means more and more countries started to broaden their borderlines and governments have loosened visa restrictions for their partners' citizens. For example, most Europeans and Asians will have visa exemption to Vietnam if term of residence is less than 15 days. Those factors enhance gradually the tourism industry and people can tell that in the future, tourism in general will be tropical field to work in. Not only hotels, travel agencies but also airlines, cruises, resorts, catering services or event companies are places that I can find career opportunities.
Lastly, I have a lasting image from visiting my aunt's workplace, a mid-range hotel in Hanoi. Listening to her stories and observing her employees working effectively as a unit intrigued me, it was impressive and partly inspired my dream of taking way in hotel services industry. As I examined my interests and goals by doing different jobs during gap year, I found myself interested in travelling-related-job. To me, travel is not only about making a journey to different places (even within a city) but also about trying new cuisines and exploring new things. Therefore, it's just not about hotel but tourist attraction and restaurant are things that accomplish people trip. Majoring in hospitality, tourism and foodservice management department will help to fulfill my desire.
