Abstract
Many international hospitality organisations interact and effectively work with people from different cultural backgrounds. The issue of cultural awareness, sensitivity, and understanding of cultural differences has created unusual challenges for interns to work effectively in a multi-cultural workplace and deliver quality services to an international tourism market. This qualitative study of student reflections and staff facilitation of internships will determine the factors that contribute to student satisfaction with their working and learning experiences. The proposed research will be of value and have practical implications for both academics who wish to further study student internship satisfaction, sponsors and industry professionals as this research will serve as a framework for a successful internship experience for future hospitality practitioners.
