“The message we take from the interviews is clear: in tourism, graduates’ familiarity with new technologies is not enough. The sector needs professionals who can use them with sound judgement and apply their knowledge effectively and responsibly in real working conditions.” — Professor Christina Beneki, Scientific Coordinator of the BIAD project for Ionian University
