My change of career for the tourism sector was the reason that led me to enroll in this program. Attending PAGETur was for me a unique and enriching experience for my learning and professional development in the tourism sector.

As a strategic sector of our country, it is crucial for this sector an appropriate qualification and the availability of programs such as PAGETur allow to develop and update knowledge.

The sharing of knowledge and study of practical cases, given by an outstanding faculty, together with the exchange of experiences among the participants, is the ideal combination for those who, like me, needed to extend knowledge in this area.

My participation in the 1st edition of PAGETur was a wise decision as it contributed to the updating of knowledge in management and, consequently, to improve training in management skills, to which I dedicate myself.

The diversity and timeliness of the topics aligned with the national strategy for the sector, contributed to the success of this program which is already part of the academic agenda for tourism executives.

This program allowed me to enrich my networking - professional/academic world - and also enrich my portfolio in the areas of management and tourism.

Apart from being innovative, the PAGETur program is utterly fruitful when taking into account the current setting of tourism in Portugal and around the world. This valuable education, structured in carefully selected modules, and led by professionals of excellence in their fields, provide us with an tremendous source of knowledge, professional growth and inspiration. And, on top of it, the development of a productive networking that continues beyond the program, i.e., “THE PAGE ON TOUR”. I highly recommend it!

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.
