My ENISI experience in Cucuta
Maria Fernanda Ortiz Salguedo
Hotel and Tourism Administration Program's student.
My name is Maria Fernanda Ortiz and I would like to share one of my best experiences as a Unicolombo student:
Last October 13th of the current year, I had the opportunity to travel to Cucuta. I was selected as a representative of the group of research Ecofriendly, one of the research experiences of the Hotel and Tourism Administration Program. The name of the event was: ENISI 2016, XIX Encuentro Nacional and XIII Internacional de Semilleros de Investigación with the qualified project Tursasan Turismo Etno Natural that I worked on together with my classmate Marielena Canoles. The event was held from the 13th to the 16th of October. It was a great personal and professional experience because I could present my ideas related to a tourism business project.
Being part of these kinds of events is a very gratifying experience that contributes to the growth of my personal and professional levels. After my presentation, I received some positive comments. It was also an opportunity to share some knowledge about research processes applied in other areas. At a personal level, I learnt how to cope with a new research scenario, different from my own comfort zone. I could also interact with students from other regions of the country and know more about their culture.
I hope Unicolombo continues motivating the students to participate in local, national and international events. I would like other students to have the opportunity to live this amazing experience. Thanks Unicolombo!
