Leidy Giraldo : a scholarship student who loves research
My name is Leidy Giraldo, I am in 5th semester of the Bachelor of Business in Tourism and Hospitality Management, at Unicolombo. I am a scolarship student from the program Becas a la Excelencia en Turismo (Fontur), for which I am very grateful.
During my career, I have made an effort to learn more and more, get good grades and meet new people who also love Tourism. This semester I am doing my internship in Capilla del Mar Hotel, where I have learnt many tourism services processes.
I am also be part of the research seedbed about Gastronomy leaded by professor Sorely Soleno, who leaded the tutorial classes that let my group design a sustainable tourism product called: Hacienda Paraíso Natural. We exposed this project in the frame of the Tourism Fair, then presented in the XII Encounter of the Red Colombiana de Semilleros de Investigación - Redcolsi. My group was conformed by: Jhan Mejía, Elizabeth Zuluaga, Maicol Pérez, Geraldine Barraza and me.
Thanks to this opportunity, we learnt not only about the design of a tourism product, but also about the importance of teamwork.
