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.

My participation in the first edition of PAGETur was an enriching experience. The demand for credible curricula and academic value for the professionals from the tourism industry is real and PAGETur came to meet this need. There is a good balance between theoretical and practical cases. The experience of this first edition will certainly help to introduce other differentiating factors and transform PAGETur into a market reference.
