According to Wang Wei, our college's Secretary of the Party Committee, the cooperation with the Seven Star Sea City Development Group was established in March 2021 and covered five major directions. During the epidemic, the Seven Star Sea City Group also carried out friendly interaction activities for our students who stayed on campus, reflecting the cooperation temperature. He proposed to use the promotion of tourism service talent education and the construction of practical employment bases as an entry point and continue to carry out in-depth cooperation in the top-level design of coastal tourism, research and development of tourism product format and standards, big data mining, and marine health development. Subsequently, Secretary Wang Wei awarded the certificate of teaching practice and employment base to the Seven Star Sea City Development Group.
