We are immensely proud to announce that KITMAN has successfully undergone its first external evaluation and has been awarded the UN Tourism Academy: UN Tourism TedQual Certification for a period of three years, valid until 7 August 2029, with an outstanding overall score of 89%. 🎓🌍✅

This achievement marks an important milestone for the entire KITMAN Team and reflects our collective commitment to excellence, internationalization, and continuous quality improvement in tourism education. ✨📚🌐

As the Program Chair, I would like to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to everyone who has contributed to this remarkable achievement. 🙏💚

🏛️ My deepest appreciation goes to the Dean of the Faculty of Humanities, in the capacity of Chair of the Project Administrative Committee, for the strong leadership, encouragement, and unwavering support throughout the evaluation process, particularly in driving the program to undergo a comprehensive assessment across all dimensions.

🎓 Special appreciation is extended to Professor Dr. Therdchai Choibamroong, our distinguished academic expert, for his invaluable guidance and insightful recommendations that have continuously encouraged KITMAN to move toward the highest standards of internationalization. 🌍✨

🤝 Our sincere appreciation also goes to the Department of Tourism and Hospitality Industry, colleagues across Kasetsart University, and the staff of the Faculty of Humanities for their generous collaboration and support, including the provision of facilities, equipment, and essential resources throughout the evaluation process.

👨‍🎓👩‍🎓 We are equally grateful to our current students, alumni, employers, adjunct lecturers, program faculty and staff, and The Kaset Hua Hin Hotel. Their engagement, perspectives, and support have played an essential role in strengthening the quality, relevance, and international positioning of KITMAN. 🌐💼🏨

💚 Our heartfelt appreciation goes to the founders of KITMAN, the Chairs and members of the Project Committees across all generations, and all staff members who have contributed to building, sustaining, and advancing the program over the years.

🏆 The 89% score is more than a result of an external evaluation.
