As we approach the beginning of a new academic year, I am delighted to welcome our newest cohort of students to the Institute.
Choosing where to pursue undergraduate studies is one of the most significant decisions that any individual can make. At the Instituto de Forma??o Turistica e Management IFTM, all members understand its importance and are committed to fostering intellectual and social growth in order for new students to achieve success both in their personal lives and professional careers.
Our esteemed reputation stands on four pillars: exceptional teaching, robust connections with the global tourism and hospitality industry, an international learning environment, and state-of-the-art facilities dedicated to specialized education.
IFTM alumni are found worldwide, contributing significantly to their communities as key figures such as hotel executives, tourism entrepreneurs, and academics. Above all, they actively engage in making a difference in others' lives. It fills me with immense pride that several of our faculty members have previously been students at this very institution.
The future prospects for these new students are promising indeed. The opportunities within the tourism and hospitality sectors continue to expand globally, particularly in Asia. In China's Greater Bay Area development plan, there is a significant focus on driving even more tourism growth.
The arrival of our latest batch of students marks an exciting chapter in each individual's academic journey at IFTM. Within these walls, they have the unique opportunity to learn and develop new skills that will fully equip them for life post-graduation, significantly impacting their overall experience and future success.

As we embark upon the academic year of 201819, the faculty prepares to launch its first master’s degree program while progress continues on our second educational hotel, poised for location at the Tpa Campus. Yet, our overarching goal remns unchanged: contributing further to Macao's position as a World Centre of Tourism and Leisure – a vision by both the Macao SAR Government and the Central Government.
The incoming student body is exceptionally impressive. Each individual stood out among their peers during secondary education and secured placement at IFTM. Every member of our undergraduate cohort possesses remarkable potential. Now, each must work diligently to realize that potential in full measure. To support their success, here are three key suggestions:
Choose your courses wisely: Invest time discovering subjects that spark genuine interest and passion.
Set clear goals: Establish a learning path by defining specific milestones you wish to achieve. Success in tourism and hospitality is often attributed to an intense combination of passion, hard work, and a strategic plan for career development.
Explore beyond the curriculum: Experiment with various courses and engage with exchange programs offered through our dedicated Tourism and Hotel School.
Participate in student clubs: These platforms allow you to delve into interests that complement your academic pursuits, expanding your skillset and offering a taste of diverse experiences.
Value teamwork: Success often hinges on collaboration with individuals from various backgrounds and perspectives.
Engage with cultural diversity: While it might be tempting to adhere to the familiar, being open to people from different cultures is integral to your educational experience at IFTM.
As President of IFTM, my primary objective is to ensure that each student's journey towards success is as enriching as possible. With this cohort, I am optimistic about their transformative experience awting them within our institution.
