Our BSTM 2nd year students successfully participated in an empowering and life-saving training focused on water safety, rescue, and survival skills—an essential learning experience for future tourism professionals. This activity not only enhanced their knowledge but also strengthened their awareness, discipline, and sense of responsibility when it comes to ensuring the safety of others, especially in water-based tourism settings.

Throughout the training, students were given the opportunity to engage in hands-on activities that simulated real-life emergency situations. They learned fundamental rescue techniques, proper response strategies, and survival skills that are crucial in preventing accidents and saving lives. This experience allowed them to build confidence, teamwork, and quick decision-making skills—qualities that are highly important in the tourism industry.
