This micro-credential is important for tourism students and also other students from other programmes that have the topic of the law of negligence in their study package because it exposes one very relevant aspect of the day-to-day activity namely the necessity of not being negligent in their job. Students must be revealed of their duty to act carefully and the impact of not doing so from the perspective of the organisation they attach to and the bearing it has on them personally. This micro-credential will elucidate the elements to establish negligence so that one will understand that not in all situations a case can be brought to the court on this ground. As tourism students, they should be able to realise that their future job scope could clearly subject them to legal suits when they are dealing with customers in their field.
