"As I write this letter from my hotel room, I can't believe that already a month has passed. This experience has been so highly rewarding and fulfilling. I have met a lot of people, all from different cultures and backgrounds ... each and every one of them have marked my life forever. They have all, in different ways, taught me that success in service is rooted in your ability to overcome adversity by giving the best you have to others with an open mind that will allow you to understand their needs." Myrella A. García Vélez, South Africa, Hospitality

CASE STUDIES:

Richard Brister, Argentina, Adventure Tourism
“The Adventure Tourism programme based in Mendoza allowed me to really get a feel for the kind of work and lifestyle of working within the tourism industry. Starting the placement with very little knowledge of Spanish, I was also pleasantly surprised how quickly I was able to pick it up, through the support and encouragement of those I was working with.

In terms of what I have been doing: when guests arrive in Malargue to go skiing, I show them around the resort. For example, where the cheaper restaurants are, where one can buy classes, help with the rental of equipment and buying of passes, the filling out of the discount vouchers for the passes etc. I also help with the transfers to and from the ski centre and the loading and unloading of the “camionetas" (vans).

During the day I am skiing!!!!!!!!!!!! I also helped with the excursion to “Caverna de Brujas” (Witches Caves), and the Falls nearby.

One of the best features is how much Spanish I seem to be learning, but also I am getting a general feel of the working environment within the tourism industry.”
