This free, open-access training course is the result of an Erasmus+ programme and addresses the foundations and characteristic of luxury tourism and it links with sustainability. The presentation event which took place on 29 November in the Edifici Blanc was attended by representatives of the public and private sectors offering and promoting premium experiences in Catalonia.
Students Natalia Díaz and Andrea Castaño received a special mention from the jury for their innovative proposal of incorporating a virtual assistant at hotel reception desks. Five students from the bachelor's degree in Tourism also participated in the finals, in which 50 students from nine university centres were competing for the first prize.
The eight students will travel from 4 to 6 May to Madrid to present their projects: an app to meet other hotel guests, and a tourist services search engine integrated into hotel receptions. Two students from the UAB bachelor's degree in Hotel Management were the winners of last year's edition of this inter-university competition on innovation in the tourism and hotel sector.
Through a scholarship, 4 students travelled to Brussels as part of the Erasmus+ SUHET programme, to take part in a high quality intensive training programme in luxury or high-end tourism and sustainability. In addition, 8 undergraduate students visited the Carinthia region of Austria, to develop entrepreneurial and sustainable projects through the Erasmus+ DEVOS programme.
DEVOS (Developing Outstanding Sustainable Entrepreneurship Competencies) is a hybrid training programme based on sustainable entrepreneurship, led by Carinthia University of Applied Sciences and the Degrees in Tourism and Hotel Management at the UAB. The bachelor’s degree students spent a week in Klagenfurt developing innovative ideas alongside academics, teachers and entrepreneurs from Austria, Slovenia and Italy.
Over the course of three years, the team coordinated by the UAB has co-created open-use digital cultural content that is now available for consultation and adaptation to the project's Memory Centre Platform.
