Bogor, 20 October 2026 – Sekolah Tinggi Pariwisata (STP) Bogor continues its commitment to expanding access to higher education information through a campus presentation activity at SMK Bumi Sejahtera Cibungbulang. This interactive event directly reached 198 grade 12 students from various majors, providing a concrete picture of career opportunities and further study pathways in the hospitality and tourism industry.
The STP Bogor representative team was present in person to present the campus profile, five study program options, and graduate prospects in today's creative economy era. Unlike typical mass presentations, this session was conducted intensively using a class visit method across a total of seven class groups. This approach enabled deeper two-way discussion, allowing students to ask specific questions aligned with their respective major interests.
STP Bogor comprehensively explained the five available study programs, namely the Bachelor of Tourism (S1), the Applied Bachelor of Hotel Management (D4), the Diploma in Hotel Management (D3), the 1-Year Hotel Operations Program (LKP BHI), and the 1-Year Culinary Program (LKP BHI). Although the explanations were tailored to the relevance of each class's major, all students gained a complete understanding of the hospitality education spectrum offered.
The presentation materials also highlighted STP Bogor's excellence in enhancing English communication skills for global industry needs, as well as the opportunity to earn income in US dollars through international careers at five-star hotels or on cruise lines. This broadened students' perspectives, showing that administrative and business backgrounds are highly needed in the modern tourism ecosystem.
Meanwhile, for Culinary and Hospitality major students, the presentation focused on the 70 percent practice-based curriculum that is STP Bogor's flagship strength. Students were introduced to industry-standard campus facilities such as the Hotel & Room Laboratory, the Restaurant & F&B Service Lab, the Bar & Bartending Station, the Housekeeping Practice Suite, and the Kitchen & Culinary Lab. Explanations of the internship program (On the Job Training) at national and international partner hotels also became a major attraction, considering that many vocational students wish to immediately enter the professional workforce after graduation. In addition, information was shared regarding affordable and transparent tuition fees, in which semester payments already cover the building contribution, entrance fee, credit units, tuition, complete uniforms, practice costs, PKL accident insurance, and PKL administration, ensuring there are no hidden costs throughout the study period.
The presence of the STP Bogor team was warmly welcomed by students and accompanying teachers at SMK Bumi Sejahtera Cibungbulang. The usually formal classroom atmosphere became more lively with Q&A sessions on scholarships, student organizations, and the BNSP International Certification for ASEAN Competency Standards in Hospitality that can be obtained during college. The team also emphasized that hospitality work relies on empathy, sensitivity, and a personal touch in serving guests, qualities that neither AI nor robots possess, so humans remain at the heart of service. This class visit method proved effective in building emotional closeness between prospective students and the target institution, dispelling doubts, and providing motivation that continuing education to a higher level is a strategic step for the future.
STP Bogor's commitment to proactive outreach through school visits is a tangible reflection of inclusive and outcome-oriented hospitality and tourism education quality. Supported by active and qualified lecturers, including holding the most Doctor of Tourism degrees in Bogor and 65 percent of permanent lecturers already holding Lecturer Certification from Kemendiktisaintek, the STP Bogor curriculum remains relevant to current labor market needs. This is a strong reason why 90 percent of STP Bogor graduates secure employment even before graduation, with alumni traces spread across various countries such as Italy, the United States, Dubai, and Jakarta. For SMK Bumi Sejahtera Cibungbulang students who wish to follow this path to success, registration for Batch 55 commencing in February 2027 is now open, along with the early booking opportunity for Batch 56 starting in August 2027.
