Joint Research, Internships, and Executive Education

Expanding Integrated Resorts

Paradise is set to collaborate with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), a world-renowned institution for hospitality education, to advance the integrated resort (IR) industry and foster professional talent.


Paradise and the UNLV William F. Harrah College of Hospitality announced on the 19th that they signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in Las Vegas, United States, on May 12 (local time) to expand joint education and research cooperation.


The UNLV Harrah College of Hospitality is a world-class institution specializing in hospitality education, located in Las Vegas, the heart of the global IR industry. It is recognized as an influential educational institution in the fields of hotels, gaming, entertainment, and tourism, and has earned a strong reputation for its practice-oriented education model.


Through this agreement, Paradise, Korea’s leading integrated resort company, and UNLV plan to work together to nurture core talent for the IR industry and to promote related research.


The two parties will jointly develop exchange programs for students and faculty and promote collaborative research projects related to the integrated resort industry. In addition, they will operate a variety of cooperative initiatives, including sharing information in the fields of education and research, special short-term academic programs, cultural exchange programs, executive education, and joint workshops.


In particular, Paradise will offer practical, on-site internship opportunities for UNLV hospitality students and will dispatch its own key talent to UNLV to participate in global-level field training programs.


Recently, Las Vegas has transformed from a simple casino city into a global experiential tourism destination that encompasses luxury hotels, fine dining, performances, conventions, wellness, and sports.


Industry insiders expect that the collaboration between Paradise, the first company to open an integrated resort in Northeast Asia, and UNLV, the world’s top hospitality education institution, will have a positive impact on strengthening the competitiveness of Korea’s tourism and IR industries.



A representative from Paradise stated, "It is very meaningful to collaborate with UNLV, the top institution in the field of hospitality. We will continue to actively pursue research and practical cooperation to contribute to the development of the IR industry and Korea’s tourism sector."
