Presentation of the Content Indigenous creative Arts and Crafts to the Hospitality Course: Opening doors of opportunity for the Students The Hospitality Course is known for its vast paced of innovation that requires a large amount of creativity in many forms. Through these indigenous creative arts and crafts, hospitality students get to experience an opportunity that allows them to explore different culture, examine different form of arts, and portray appreciation to craftsmanship. This widely supports their personal, social, moral, spiritual, cultural and creative development, and enables them to engage with and explore visual, tactile and other sensory experiences and how to recognize and communicate ideas and meanings. These opportunities enable them to work with traditional and new media, so that they develop confidence, competence, imagination and creativity. Through these opportunities, they learn to appreciate and value images and artifacts across times and cultures, and to understand the contexts in which they were made. Experiences in art, craft and design enable them to learn how to reflect critically on their own and others’ work. They learn to think and act as artists, makers and designers, working creatively and intelligently. They develop an appreciation of and engagement in art, craft and design as critical consumers and audiences and an understanding of its role in the creative and cultural industries that shape and enrich their lives.

Indigenous creative Arts and Crafts to the Hospitality Course: Promoting Culture through Tourism In return, as students will “explore different culture, examine different form of arts, and portray appreciation to craftsmanship”, a certain indigenous art can be known throughout the world that will inevitably pave the promotion of culture and other products of a certain locale.

Art and craft is considered to be an integral part of the tourism business, since it plays an important role as souvenirs and mementos, thereby spatially and temporarily expanding the visitor experience. It is also increasingly looked upon as an opportunity to diversify the tourism sector offerings, as well as the broader economic base. It links directly to the tourism sector as a source of supply of functional items used in the hospitality sector. Indigenous arts and crafts served to enhance the intrinsic value of local art and craft to international visitors. This is because local art and craft maintain the quality of uniqueness, and represent an innate connection to the heritage and culture of the destination, as well as the indigenous knowledge and craftsmanship of local artisans. In many places, crafts such as textiles and art contribute greatly to the culture of a destination and the travel experience. Crafts can be an important contributor to a country’s economy, employing artisans that are preserving cultural heritage, while generating an important source of income through the informal sector. The tourism industry provides an important export market for a host of craft products. For example, hotels and restaurants demand diverse craft products in order to furnish and equip their establishments. Tourists often set a budget for themselves expecting to buy different products to take home as souvenirs. These souvenirs then serve as tourism marketing tools by telling a story of the destination and adding to the travel experience.
