We held a workshop on tourism and Mediterranean hospitality
At our school we are happy, friendly… and we always smile!
This week some of our students have attended a very interesting workshop on the tourism in the Valencian Community.
Organized by the Valencia Tourism Agency, the theme of the conference is 'Pass on your hospitality' and deals with Mediterranean hospitality, highlighting and promoting the open, friendly, cheerful and inclusive character of entrepreneurs and workers in the tourism sector of the community and of the entire society.
The Valencian Community is an autonomous community that lives largely from tourism; every year receives 20 million tourists. Thus, it has become a pioneer region in launching a Tourism Code of Ethics to regulate this activity.
In the workshop, our students were exposed and invited to reflect on "What makes us attractive as a tourist destination?".
The answer is that our community encompasses different types of tourism, for example:
Gastronomic (with reference dishes such as Valencian paella or fideuá).
Consulting (thanks to its heritage or with festivals such as the Fallas, recognized by Unesco as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity)
From nature (with a total of 22 natural parks in the community, 524 km of coastline and more than 300 days of sunshine a year).
But what is the greatest attraction of the Valencian Community?
El Parts and accessorieshospitable character.
And what are the values what makes us hospitable? The values exposed and commented on in the workshop were; we are authentic, happy, inclusive, reliable, innovative, thoughtful, sustainable and Mediterranean. All of these are very important values, which are present every day in small actions such as always welcoming tourists with a smile or generating the necessary trust when someone visits a different country.
The students were delighted to leave the workshop, since in addition to learning and reflecting on the pillars of Mediterranean tourism, they had the opportunity to attend a lecture in spanish with which they were able to practice their understanding of the language and exchange opinions.
