Seminars are devoted to various topics, for example, how to organize a business in the food or education segment. The events are purely practical in nature, and provide applied tools for transforming your ideas into real business steps.The next event will take place on July 17 and will be dedicated to the most relevant topic of the season – tourism: How It Works – Tourism.
Today, there is a growing number of those who prefer to book tickets and hotels on their own in order to go to an agency, pick up and pay for a tour directly on the spot. Thus, competition is also increasing between sites that offer their services for booking air, railway, car tickets and hotels. How It Works provides an opportunity to look at this process from the opposite side – the one who is trying to offer the best conditions for your vacation. What online tour agencies can offer you? What are the main problems faced by e-tourism companies in Ukraine and in the world?
