Conferences, seminars and forums you can build into the trip
An academic mission for Tourism, Hospitality and Gastronomy can be built around an industry event. You choose the event, or we help you weigh the options; we design the itinerary and coordinate flights, lodging, transfers and complementary activities according to the services booked.
Showcases where destinations, airlines, hotels and tour operators present their offerings and trends.
Gatherings on sustainable tourism, hotel management, revenue management and the traveler experience.
Events to discover regional cuisines, producers and culinary trends.
Sessions on destination management, heritage and cultural tourism.
Registration for each event depends on its organizers and their current terms. In the proposal, we spell out what the trip includes and which arrangements are handled by the event.
Visits that enrich the mission
In addition to the event, the agenda can include academic, corporate and institutional visits, subject to arrangement and availability:
- Hotels and tour operators
- Destination marketing organizations
- Culinary schools and traditional markets
- Attractions and cultural heritage sites
- Farms and rural tourism experiences
Destinations we can quote
Cartagena, Santa Marta, Medellín and the Coffee Region are living classrooms of Colombian tourism. Rome, Florence, Venice, Seville and Rio de Janeiro offer international benchmarks. Each destination is evaluated based on the program's goals, dates and availability. If you're unsure, read how to choose the destination for an academic mission.
