Changes following student comments

In the "Hospitality in Practice" session, a role play was included to learn how to handle complaints as part of the hospitality communication. However, it seemed that the Japanese-style procedure did not fit for many of the international students. Therefore, in the next year's program, I would like to incorporate elements of complaint handling from a global perspective while encouraging students to understand the characteristics of Japanese communication styles.
