This International Cruise Food Festival encourages students to carry out localized innovative design for the special food of the cruise destination countries and guides them to know more about the traditional Chinese food culture by designing the links of researching food, knowing food, making food, appreciating food and tasting food.
The activity is carried out in the form of food tasting competition with delicacy as the medium. In line with the industry standard, the competition draws on catering positions in the cruise industry, combines with the specialty curriculum, and integrates the knowledge of international cruise food culture, cruise tourism routes and cross-cultural communication into practice, so as to innovate products and services.
During the activity, the students of the school-enterprise cooperation class of international cruise ship crew management of class 2023 chose the special diets of the European and American routes, such as Mexican chicken rolls and Italian pizza, combined with the Chinese specialties, such as spring rolls and pies, to create their own ideology classroom by integrating the genes of the traditional Chinese culture, which effectively enhanced their cultural self-confidence and strengthened their professional sense of identity.
