- Master Hemant Rao, Student Reporter
Mumbai, 15th June 2019
Mumbai’s leading Management and Hospitality Institute, IIHM, announced the establishment of their tourism university on Friday, 13th June 2019.
The plan for the university had been announced in January last year and IIHM should soon fulfil its promise of starting the process of admissions by August 2020. It is the first university of its kind to offer full-time courses in tourism. As of now, the university is offering three courses in tourism. One is a full-time two-year degree programme, the second is a part-time three-year programme and the third one is a one-year diploma programme. The university aims to educate the students on the functioning of the tourism industry. The students graduating from the university can expect to be placed in some of the top travel companies, hotels and resorts in India. The university hopes to provide well-trained professionals to the ever-expanding tourism industry in our country.

According to some experts, a staggering 93 percent of our daily communication is non-verbal. Facial expressions are easy to decipher. One can readily detect happiness, sadness, anger. Physicians can tell a patient is doing well (or not) by looking at his/her face. Eye contact is another type of non-verbal communication, which can tell a lot about the other person. The eyes convey a range of emotions-happiness, sadness, boredom, surprise, confidence ..... even emotional interest. Staring at someone's forehead may intimidate the recipient, staring at the mouth is sometimes interpretated as a sign of emotional interest. In fact staring into someone's eyes is a sign of lying, and so is looking away. In certain cultures, lack of eye contact is taken as a sign of respect. If body language is to be defined, it is a combination of facial expression, gestures, eye contact, body movements and posture and voice. Frequent blinking is a sign of the person feeling distressed or uncomfortable. If the pupils are dilated, it often indicates interest, even emotional interest. The lips also reflect our body language, and lip biting indicates worry and/or anxiety; tightening of the lips may be an indication of disapproval. Slightly turned-up lips indicate happiness and slightly turned-down lips indicate sadness. |
