World Tourism Day was celebrated with students from the School of Economics and Management of the University of the Azores with two excellent initiatives organised in partnership with the University of the Azores Tourism Students' Group (NETUA), the Tourism Degree Board and the Azores Tourism Connections Blog.
The first moment of the day was marked by a conference panel made up of tourism graduates from the University of the Azores entitled "And after graduation?", which featured several interventions by personalities related to the sector, including Alexandre Costa (Bensaude Turismo), Matilde Ferreira (Pandora Tours), Rita Pereira (Mr Travel Açores), Rodrigo Medeiros (InAzores) and Sara Vieira (Canadiano Hotel), moderated by Professor Daniela Fantoni.
After listening to good advice and talking about their expectations, the students were the protagonists of a tour of the island of São Miguel. A perfect field trip to experience the island through the eyes of a tourist with the constructive critical knowledge of a future tourism professional.
This was another excellent initiative in a sector that the Bensaude Group is proud to continue supporting. Our DNA is the Azores and we have always seen tourism as an opportunity for everyone. It's been a commitment for over 80 years, with a medium and long-term vision for the sustainable development of the Region.
