Our experience at ACIET Event

As Tourism students, we had the opportunity to be part of the logistic team at one of the greatest academic events in Colombia. Living this experience was complety amazing, helping people is one way to show everyone what tourism is about. At the event we had such a good time, we could put all our knowledge in practice and also learn from the new things that help us to get more experience in this segment.

People from different cities came to Cartagena. Some of them had many problems with the airline because of Avianca pilot strike, but it was not an obstacle to assist to the event and make their presentations, what allowed us to improve our abilities at the moment of offering our help and attentions.

The presentations were about different topics, such as charity, health, economie, law and technology. We learnt a lot and enjoyed this experience.

To wrap it up, we are so proud of ourselves for being there and for hearing good comments about our job and as logistic team.

Tourism is about passion, soul and love!
