In my opinion the PAGETur program is an important tool for entrepreneurs who want to start a new project in the tourism sector. The knowledge acquired in class is fairly current allowing a transversal image of the industry. The case studies and study visits made this course distinctive in the market. On a personal level, the people I met from classmates and teachers, I consider that my expectations were exceeded.

Leading a Tourism and Hospitality Startup, I was looking to complement my management training and consulting experience, with a tourism management training. The good dynamic between PAGEtur's curriculum content, business visits, first-person testimonies, and case studies, made this program the perfect answer to my need. I emphasize the excellence of faculty teachers, full of experience in the sector and the extent, pertinence and useful practical application of the topics addressed. The collaboration and networking between teachers and students, as well as the possibility to work on my personal project as an object of study, throughout the course, were good extras and made this an immersive experience. PAGEtur meant personal and professional development and a source of inspiration, which I recommend to all experienced and new-entry tourism professionals.

Joining Pagetur had as objective deepen my knowledge in the various areas of Tourism, through conferences and seminars, without the evaluation component after each module. This course exceeded my expectations.

The fact that teachers have many years of practical experience in this industry allows us to address very useful practical questions.

From a logistical point of view, the parking convenience, as well as the coffee-break quality, especially on Friday night, is very helpful.

At last, I was fortunate to be part of a fantastic group, with very different backgrounds and ages, which made this experience a memorable one.

Given my previous education in engineering, and after being professionally involved for a number of years in the Tourism area, I decided it was time to improve my knowledge in this field. The PAGEtur, in an academia context, was essential to deepen ideas and core concepts in my professional daily routine. The organization and course structure, transversal and complementary, made this experience highly enriching and pedagogical, contributing to a noteworthy evolution of my knowledge in tourism project management, the area in which I am involved. The sessions, taught in an interactive manner and with open dialogue and exchange of past experiences, also included field trips, case study analysis and seminars that ensured a very important practical component within the themes studied. Additionally, the quality, experience, competence, and dedication of the faculty members were essential for the whole learning process and core in transferring their knowledge. Finally, amongst professors and other participants, I had the privilege to meet extraordinary people, that greatly contributed to make PAGEtur a winning bet and a highly recommendable program. Thank you all!

Working all my life in the field of environment since I graduated from IST, this Program has allowed me to expand and reinforce my knowledge about Tourism. Increasing my awareness of the subject through the acquisition of new techniques and experiences, contributing not only to my personal and professional appreciation, but also, to give my company the concepts and tools needed to combine the best environmental practices to this sector in evident growth. I would also like to highlight the availability, technical knowledge and competence of all teachers, the excellent environment provided by this institution and the fantastic group of colleagues that I had the opportunity to meet. Naturally, I take a very positive outlook of my participation in CATÓLICA-LISBON PAGETUR.
