3. Benefits or Experiences
First of all, I would like to say that this is my first time to work with the tour company
and it’s one of the best opportunities in my life that I can work with such a high
standard and popular company like this. After the HR manager of the company
presented about the background, organization chart, system of the company I
experienced a lots of knowledge and ideas of how the tour company launched their
work.
I could practice and improved myself of how to greet new people and how to live with
different kinds of people in my workplace. Moreover, the environment of the
company makes me have intention to work there when I graduate.
I got familiar and know about how the company work and to be successful like today
after, I studied about the Travel magazine and tour packages of the company, any
tariff costs such as hotel, transportation and tour package tariff costs.
I got to know about how the company contact staff contact to each other and to other
business related persons after, I studied about the Microsoft office outlook 2007
which is the Microsoft office that uses to contact about any business concerns and
stuffs.
I could practice and improved my communication skills after, I contacted Asian Oasis
company which is a cruise company to ask about the Suwan Macha operate days,
Baan Laanta Resort about the available rooms and Fourseason Koh Samui to ask
about the available room type.
I experienced and learnt about Tourplan program and I got to know about how it
works.
I got to know about how to summaries the reservation then he assigned me to
summarize the reservation which includes the tour package, hotel, flight, train and
transfer reservations.
Problems or Obstacles to the work
At first, I didn’t really know that how to act myself appropriately with the company
environment, organization and staff so, I need to adjust and adapt myself a lot with
the new environment and work with new people.

4. I never use the Microsoft outlook before so, I really didn’t know how it works.
Therefore, I need to study a lot about how it works and also have to learn how to write
the business letter shortly, properly and promptly.
I didn’t really know of how to contact with any tourism supplier such as the Cruise
Company, hotels and resorts appropriately and correctly because I never contact with
the tourism supplier before. Therefore, I need to practice more and to improve my
communication skills. Moreover, there was some problem when I contacted with the
cruise company that I forgot to ask about the information provider so, I missed the
name of who giving me the information because when there is some mistake then I
can use the name of information provider as the referenced person.
When I study and use the Tourplan program to create the new booking, then I could
not remember the whole processes and there was some mistake because the Tourplan
program is pretty complicated so, I need to practice a lot and need to learn more about
the program.
When I had to summarize about the reservation then I was not confident to use my
own word and the initial to summarize the reservation. I still need to learn a lot
because this kind of work needs the correct, accurate and prompt skills to work for.
Student’s opinion
My supervisor is very professional and he knows how to explain each task to me but I
think that he need to assign me more works because I think that I got less work than I
expect to get for the first week. I always get bored when I have nothing to do. I would
like to learn and experience new things as much as I can and no matter how hard I
have to work because it’s all about the experiences that can directly enhance my
future career. For the first week, went to the office before work hour approximately 1
hour because I thought that I am an employee of the company and would like to work
for the company to get more successfully.
Sometimes, when I assigned to work in order to check about the available room,
operate days of tourism suppliers and summarize about reservations of the company
then I was under the stressful because I needed to work correctly, accurately,
promptly and appropriately. Therefore, I got a little bit serious times, especially when
my supervisor told me that you have to work carefully and correctly because this

5. company is owned by the French man. However, I never be afraid of anything. I think
that my supervisor should explain and teach me more how to work for some
complicated tasks.

I was helping the housekeeper of the company to clean the office when the
company had a party last Thursday.
