INNOVATION AND TRENDS
Tourism as an economic activity that reaches an ascending scale is dynamized in an increasingly accelerated complexity, it requires a reflective and more competitive professional to manage its development, which forces in its order of interpretation and action to generate clear and significant parameters to respond to this demand.
The Bachelor of Business in Tourism and Hospitality Management, aware of this reality, strengthens the tourist and hotel competencies of the students through curricular and outdoor activities focused on innovation and formative research that reveal the transforming nature of the students of the program.
The permanent incorporation of new ideas and processes add that value that the academy requires to update the knowledge of the actors of this industry, taming their capabilities and their experiential practices.
This edition presents the continuous work and autonomous reach of students who focus all their potential on their professional profile and the dynamics of day- to- day tourism.
