Importance in my courseIt is very obvious that it is related tom my course. I am talking Hotel management right now and it will enable me to manage my future restaurant. I have to experience it first hand, in order for me to attract tourists there is one activity that I have in mind that is appealing to the people and that is Scuba Diving. Scuba Diving is a very pricy activity in this manner I can regain my loss in this particular business. From my experience I can avoid the things that can make the hotel or the business from losing its earnings.
