Fårup Sommerland Amusement Park

- Staff and Park Manager Niels Jørgen Jensen

Well-prepared

Staff and Park Manager Niels Jørgen Jensen thinks that the Service, Hospitality & Tourism Management programme prepares students well considering that the programme is only of two years’ duration.

Based on the students the Fårup Sommerland amusement park has had on internships, it is his impression that the students have achieved good insight into the service industry. That is why he wouldn’t mind hiring a Service, Hospitality & Tourism Management graduate if he or she had the profile the park required.

For instance Niels Jørgen Jensen believes that a Service, Hospitality & Tourism Management graduate could be hired to solve tasks concerning staff, marketing and events.

Internship at Fårup Sommerland

Over several years, Fårup Sommerland has had students of Service, Hospitality & Tourism Management on 3-month internships and the students have achieved good results.

For instance, the latest intern’s final exam project was very useful and Fårup Sommerland is considering using some of the ideas of the project in practice. To Niels Jørgen Jensen, this proves that the students are capable of producing something that is relevant to the real world of the park.

Internship tasks

In general, the different interns have solved the tasks they were assigned. Those were tasks such as guest analysis, flow analysis, creating new niches within the business and standardize job descriptions in the amusement park to give them a more uniform expression.

On this background, Niels Jørgen Jensen recommends other companies to taking students of Service, Hospitality & Tourism Management as interns.
