During the 18th EdukCircle International Tourism and Hospitality Convention, 11 UB-SIHTM faculty members served as panel reactors. With the various global trends and issues in the hospitality and tourism industry presented by the professors from universities in the United States of America, New Zealand, Australia, Macau, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, the SIHTM mentors, alongside faculty members from other colleges and universities in the Philippines, were allowed to have an exchange of viewpoints with the said international professors.
