Presentation of the subject

During the sessions, the concept and implementation of a Quality Management System within a tourism company will be deepened. Each of the steps to be taken will be analyzed to ensure the design of the service to ensure the satisfaction of the guest, diner or visitor. As well as the control and improvement of the service using different tools and indicators.

 

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