Early 90s of previous century, Vietnam Tourism newly developed, tourism activities have attracted the attention of many branches and individuals. Tourism training needs appear as an objective reality. But then, no public university in Vietnam in general and Hanoi in particular, have training tourism human resources. After consultation with experts, including Mr. Hoang Minh Son, leading geographers of Vietnam, is the encouragement of the Management Board of the University of Hanoi, especially Mr. Tran Van Nhung, I has developed and implemented training program, Geography Tourism. In just over one month, from 08.28.1992 to 10.05.1992, the program has been completed. First class start date 10/13/1992, with all 161 students.

When the University open tourism program, teachers of Vietnam Tourism University (ie Hospitality Business School, former of Hanoi Tourism College) were very helpful and supportive. Mr. Mai Khoi donated textbooks to the courses of hotel, restaurant; Ms. Khanh and Ms. Vui were ready to refuse big salaries where-else to come to teach student about professional hospitality. Mr. Hoang Thieu Son always spent a lot of time for orienting, training, teaching and going on field trips with students. He became the soul, the pride for all students of the first class of Geography tourism. Mr Pham Hong Chuong graduating from UK also immediately undertook on some subjects.

I received the enthusiastic support of colleagues at the Institute as Pham Trung Luong, Truong Sy Vinh, Le Van Minh, Nguyen Van Thanh, Bich San, one of the participants who wrote the book "Year of tourism Vietnam 1990", "Handbook Vietnam travel guide" ...

With the operation of tourism training, I already knew many science teachers of History, Literature ... with extensive knowledge, wisdom and enthusiasm, they gave the lectures "world civilizations "of Nguyen Anh, Han Nom subject of Le Anh Tuan, religious studies of Pham Quang Hung ... the lessons are attractive to all students. The Folk literature class of Nguyen Hung Vi was always fun because the students sang folk songs and read lyrical poems while enjoying his sense of humor.

After reviewing training records and proposals of the university, Ministry of Education and Training allowed the university todecentralize system. May 10/1995, Faculty of Tourism Studies was officially founded. From here, the training of students studying tourism at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities has turned a new page.
