Faculty from the Department of Tourism and Hospitality Industry at the Institute of Foreign Languages ​​and International Tourism completed a professional internship at the 7Peaks Family Resort in Arkhyz.

The program focused on the implementation of modern digital technologies in the hotel industry. Participants learned about the hotel's core services, tested digital solutions, and experienced firsthand how guest services are organized—from administration and housekeeping to the spa, restaurants, and children's playroom.

This experience will enable the faculty to update the content of relevant courses, including "Information Technology in Tourism," "Hotel Operations Management," and "Standardization and Quality Control of Services."

Following the internship, a set of methodological recommendations will be prepared, and the hotel's case studies will be included in the department's evaluation toolkit.
