In addition, the SHTM has been engaging in educational collaborations to provide quality online programmes on international and domestic platforms, which will enable the MicroMasters programme to be available to an even wider audience. For example, starting from 2023, the School will offer the course "Innovation and Technology Management in Tourism and Hospitality" on the UNWTO Tourism Online Academy (TOA) and on XuetangX, a MOOC platform established by Tsinghua University. These collaborations aim to help hospitality and tourism managers on the Chinese mainland and worldwide build close partnerships and exploit their complementary areas of expertise to gain knowledge of strategic ICT applications, thereby enhancing their capabilities in the digital age.

We encourage everyone to take what they can from MicroMasters, an innovative programme for nurturing talent for the dynamic global hospitality industry. For more details and enrolment information, please visit: https://www.edx.org/micromasters/hkpolyux-international-hospitality-management
