FOR most students all over the world whether you’re in grammar school, high school or college, spring is a time for vacation and school campuses are discarded aside. But students in hotel schools in Switzerland or anywhere else have lots of exciting things to do – they will be on vacation all spring long and they are paid for that. It’s just like paying Paris Hilton to grace your party! Isn’t that lovely? That’s because hotel school students are always having their internships during vacations to apply whatever theories they have learned in school. Of course, interns usually receive allowances from their pseudo-employers. Let’s now take a look at random tourist spots in the world for hotel school students to be interned in. Remember that even though you’re a Swiss student in a Swiss hotel school, you will be deployed in any part of the world. That’s what makes a spring internship all the more exciting.

Let’s take a look at Texas for instance and its border with Mexico. One of the tourist spots that are worth going to are the cities of Laredo and El Paso in Texas and Ciudad Juarez on the other side. If you are assigned to be a hotel school student intern in El Paso for example, you will be working as a tourist guide and you will guide foreign tourists to such places as the Rio Grande valley, the Wyler Aerial tramway, the Mission Trail, the Franklin Mountains and the McKelligon canyon. In Rio Grande valley alone, there are lots of national parks found here such as the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge where you can guide the tourists to go with you here. The Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge is home to 300 species of butterflies and another 300 species of birds such as the Peregrine falcon, the Northern harrier, the osprey and 35 more species of warbler. Whew…this is such an exotic place to go during spring. And constantly remember that tourists are billeted in five-star hotels but they do not like to eat there. They want to eat outside so guide them outside. Considering its proximity to Mexico, El Paso’s gastronomical delights mostly originate from that country and they are spicy dishes such as salsa and menudo. Also remember that the local tequila is made of a native plant called agave. Because this is an indigenous drink, this is yummier.

If El Paso has the Rio Grande valley, every craft and artifact pertaining to it is preserved and displayed at the Rio Grande museum in Laredo. There’s not much that tourists can find in Laredo, so if you can have the tourists arrange for a day of sleepover in Ciudad Juarez in Mexico, that would be nicer for them. Ciudad Juarez boasts of a lot of structures which have historical significance such as the Samalayuca Dunes, the Juarez History Museum and the Guadalupe Mission. You may want to tour your guests to a bullfight if they like.
