asu tourism development and management

An International Collaboration with the Ministry of Education in China to offer degree programs at Hainan University, China.

In a unique international collaboration with the Ministry of Education in China, ASU has established Hainan University-Arizona State University International College of Tourism (HAITC) to address the increasing need for highly educated professionals able to expand in the areas of parks, recreation, and tourism, as well as public administration. This collaboration creates a global initiative to prepare professionals to leverage knowledge in the areas of economic, social, cultural, and environmental aspects of community development and management.

ASU participates in this collaboration with Hainan University, a top-tier college in southern China, offering three undergraduate degree programs. Two of the degrees are in ASU’s School of Community Resources and Development: tourism development and management, which is matched with Hainan’s hotel-management degree, and parks and recreation management, which is paired with Hainan’s geography and urban and rural planning degree.

ASU’s School of Public Affairs supports the third degree, which is Public Service and Public Policy (PSPP), matched with Hainan’s Public Administration degree.

New for HAITC in Fall 2022! ASU is now collaborating on a Master’s degree program including two degrees, a Master's in Public Administration and Master's in Tourism Management.

We encourage you to learn more about our exciting partnership with Hainan University !

Welcome to HAITC!

It is hard to believe another year, HAITC’s fifth year has ended!  As such, my message in this note focuses the successes of our faculty, students, and staff.  As an international program, we pride ourselves on having an international faculty to guide students forward in their careers.  From East Africa, to Iran, Jamaica, Korea, Portugal, Romania, the USA, and of course China, our students interact with a faculty who bring worldwide perspectives and knowledge to our courses and programs.  COVID-19 has impacted some of our faculty’s ability to return to China, however we are confident the 2022-23 academic year be a year of change, with most faculty returning to campus.

Despite COVID, faculty have been busy publishing and presenting!  To note just some of the accomplishments, Dr. Choe presented a conference paper on “Exploring sustainable development via stakeholder engagement protected areas at the Asia Pacific Tourism Association, in Jeju, South Korea – her paper was recognized as a finalist for the best paper. Dr. Xu completed a book chapter titled “Gendered Mobilities in China: The Impacts of COVID-19 on Women in Tourism, and presented with 6 diligent students, on changing practices of tourism stakeholders in Covid-19 affected destinations, among other presentations – congratulations HAITC students - S.X. Liu, Y.H. Xu, C. Liu. S.Q. Guan, S.Q., G. M. Wu, C.J. and Z.M. Chu! 

Dr. Xiao received the runner-up award for her paper on “Economic optimization of historic preservation in national parks: Future transitions for climate change and cultural resources”, coauthored with our very own student, Li Peizhe and Erin Seekamp, at the Travel and Tourism Research Association Annual Conference (TTRA). Dr. Szabo also presented at TTRA on “ Could tourism be the real gold mine? " with Dr. Ferreira.  And Dr. Ferreira published an article in Tourism Review International titled “Tourism micro entrepreneurship: state of the art and research agenda.” Dr. Sang Eun Lee presented a conference paper on “The effect of the work-life policy use on the scholarly productivity and innovation for women in science and technology” at the The Korean Association for Policy Studies Winter Conference, in Seoul, Republic of Korea. One of our newest faculty members, starting this fall, 2022, Dr. Walter Huber, conducted a research project on the investigation of “Crime trends in the American city of Zanesville thru 2021.” In this project, Dr. Huber reviewed 215,000 incidents to determine trends, determine likely effects of various interventions, and offer policy solutions to improve safety within the city of Zanesville.

We could not accomplish much without the continued support of our dedicated staff, Yaxin Guo, Brynn Kowalski, DJ Ross, and Evonne Taylor-Harris – thank you team!  I am grateful to Brynn’s leadership in getting this new website up and running, with the support of our terrific College team in making this a reality!

A very special thank you also to Dean Wang and the team at HNU, who have been wonderful collaborators during my first year!

As we look to a new year and semester ahead, we are excited about welcoming our first cohort enthusiastic about new programs and initiatives to support our students and moving to the new campus in 2023!  Suffice to say, we have an exciting year ahead, and look forward to continuing to address the challenges we face as a global society, through education and research within our disciplines. Very briefly, some of the new initiatives we look forward to in the coming year include:

• Expanded research collaboration with HNU’s Center for Research and ASU’s Center for Sustainable Tourism
• Developing a first-year orientation program for all incoming HAITC students
• Re-igniting the international visitation program we have with HNU and ASU
• A safe and engaging return to Hainan and the new campus!

Best wishes and be sure to stay tuned to new initiatives and events posted here!

China’s Ministry of Education honors ASU, Hainan University with excellence award

The 2 universities agree to renew haitc, which celebrated first-ever master’s degree recipients this spring.

The international collaboration between Arizona State University and Hainan University (HNU) in southern China has some milestones to celebrate this year.

The Hainan University–Arizona State University International Tourism College (HAITC) received a prestigious award from the Chinese Ministry of Education as it honored its first cohort of master’s degree recipients in late May. In June, ASU and HNU also agreed to renew their joint administration of HAITC for a new five-year term.

HAITC, which offers degrees in tourism management and parks, recreation and sport management, as well as in public service and public policy, was named among only 20 international joint programs by the Chinese Ministry of Education on its inaugural list of Excellent Cases of Chinese-Foreign Cooperatively-Run Schools.

Kelly Bricker , HAITC director and professor in the School of Community Resources and Development in the Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions , said the Excellent Cases award is a huge honor for HAITC and ASU. “The word is getting out. It’s the excellence of our program content, supported by a high-quality faculty and staff,” she said.

This year marks the first time the Excellent Cases designation was issued, the ministry said in a statement, “marking a milestone and providing a powerful reference for society to understand Chinese-foreign cooperative education comprehensively and objectively. This groundbreaking evaluation initiative will promote the development of Chinese-foreign cooperative education to a higher and deeper level, injecting new vitality into China's high-level education and opening up to the outside world.”

Bricker said HAITC, established in 2017, is the newest program among the 20 to be recognized. She said the award is an affirmation from the Ministry of Education that HAITC is a high-quality program.

HNU officials were in Tempe on June 13 to join ASU Executive Vice President Chris Howard, chief operating officer of the university’s Academic Enterprise, in signing an agreement pledging to extend the two universities’ relationship for a new five-year term.

The agreement also calls for both institutions to support future academic programs and research development and renew both parties’ commitment to excellence in instruction and program design, said Bricker, who also is a Watts College associate dean.

The universities also agreed to begin developing a program originating in ASU’s Thunderbird School of Global Management. New students would start enrolling in the program in fall 2025.

Bricker said HAITC students earned master’s degrees for the first time this spring.

The college honored 12 new master’s degree alumni at a May 24 ceremony in China that also celebrated students earning bachelor’s degrees, where Bricker and Watts College Dean and President’s Professor Cynthia Lietz were in attendance. Seven students are receiving Master of Public Administration degrees from ASU this year, while five are receiving Master of Science degrees in tourism management.

HAITC’s spring 2024 cohort of 262 bachelor’s degree recipients is larger than the spring 2023 cohort of 255, according to ASU statistics. Bricker said HAITC’s bachelor’s and master’s degrees will be officially conferred later in June.

This fall, HAITC expects to welcome 30 new master’s degree students, and more than 70% of HAITC’s bachelor’s degree recipients have applied to graduate school, Bricker said. “A very high percentage of them got in.”

“It’s really a true testament to the quality of education our faculty is giving to our students. I’d be remiss if I didn’t recognize the amazing faculty and staff. Without them, none of it would be possible,” Bricker said. “It’s a testament to their dedication to excellence and high quality.”

Credit is also due to the quality of collaboration between the two institutions, Bricker added.

“We have such a dedicated faculty and staff at ASU and HNU, who collaborate to make this work,” she said. “Patience, concern, kindness, inspiration and knowledge peppered with a willingness to be innovative and create something very special with our students is what makes this work. It takes a village, actually two very large villages, dedicated to excellence, to make this happen. We are very fortunate to be a part of this uniquely situated program and partnership.”

Lietz agreed, saying, "It was an absolute pleasure to be able to recognize the graduates of our HAITC program in person this year. I was so impressed by their poster presentations, and celebrating with them on stage was truly an honor. I am grateful for this impactful partnership and cannot wait to return next year to recognize our next group of graduates.”
