Innovation, sustainability, and entrepreneurship: pillars of the UMECIT Academic Tourism Forum

The Bachelor's Degree in Bilingual Tourism at UMECIT developed the Academic Tourism Forum: Innovation, Sustainability and the Power of Entrepreneurship, along with the Table and Napkin Nap Workshop, with the aim of offering students a comprehensive education that combines academic reflection with professional practice.
