Message from the Senior Editor of the HTE Club, Department of Tourism Studies (DTS), Uva Wellassa University (UWU)

Dear Members of HTE Club,

I am very pleased to convey my heartfelt wishes for the HTE Club, launching the ‘HTE blog’ site in line with the National World Tourism Day Celebration 2021 at UWU.

Studying at a university encourages students to carry out new research, use technology, accept challenges, and be creative and independent thinkers besides the engagement of in-class learning. As a result of such an environment, this blog comes out as one of the fruitful creations formed by the undergraduates of the HTE club of DTS. In a nutshell, the purpose of a blog site is to build relationships through an effective communication process. Hence, from today onwards, this blog will be one of the digital marketing assets of UWU permitting access to a wider audience of people who penetrate tourism-related facts from every nook and cranny of the world.

To be a successful blog requires the students’ active and continuous engagement where they have room to excel in writing, establish as an expert, demonstrate expertise, and be an influencer, etc. Therefore, I request all the undergraduates to take part in this work and make your personal capital for a prosperous future.  

Finally, we must believe, dream, plan, and act to accomplish great things in our lives. My heartiest congratulations on your achievement today!

Beast Wishes from
