This Maymester experience takes students on an impactful and immersive journey to
the tiny island of Aruba, a Dutch colony located in the southern Caribbean. “One Happy
Island” is the national slogan of this 75 square mile island, and tourism and leisure
is the country’s primary industry. As such, the island is the perfect backdrop to
study hospitality and tourism. Students will study hospitality and tourism in the
context of strategic communication—how companies in the tourism industry generate
awareness and exposure so that travelers engage with their business and build loyalty
with existing and new customers. Additionally, students will spend time getting to
know the island of Aruba, including the culture, the food, and, the people.
