Presentation of the subject

The basis of success in the tourism sector is the product. However, the challenges involved in a society like the current one, dynamic, diverse and multilayered, obliges the public and private agents who work in this sector to offer well-made products, highly hierarchical and adapted to the social trends that the different segments of 'users demand.

The classroom (physical or virtual) is a safe space, free of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, either towards students or towards teachers. We trust that together we can create a safe space where we can make mistakes and learn without having to suffer prejudice from othersbeef.
