STR's SHARE Center crowns winners of four virtual Student Market Study Competitions

Excerpt: 2021 Philippine Student Market Study Competition – Hosted by LPU Laguna, Supported by COHREP, AAHRMEI and TIBFI

"It was exciting to see so many new schools in the Philippines learn what all the SHARE Center has to offer through their participation in this event - our first competition specifically open to programs in the Philippines," said Vinson. "Beginning as early as April, many instructors joined us for webinars and certification training to learn about the various reports and data that their students would be using as they did their market studies. We also appreciate the kind support we received from COHREP, AAHRMEI and TIBFI in getting the word out about the competition. A big thank you as well to Professor Ryan Calinao with Lyceum of the Philippines University-Laguna for coordinating and hosting the competition.  He and the League of Tourism Students-Laguna Chapter put on a phenomenal competition."

This competition was held on 20 November.

  • 1st Place – Lyceum of the Philippines University Batangas
  • 2nd Place – Lyceum of the Philippines University Manila
  • 3rd Place – Lyceum of the Philippines University Davao

"The market study competition was exciting and challenging at the same time," said Jhonex Madridano, a fourth-year student at Lyceum of the Philippines University–Batangas. "It will test your preparedness and analyzation skills. I was able to collaborate with a team full of dedicated students and built a new family for all of us. For future competitors, teamwork and communication are the key for a successful presentation. This will be necessary throughout your journey of market study because every side of the story counts.  Be prepared, trust your team and make sure to enjoy the experience because there is a lot to learn in this competition."
