Project Associate at UN Tourism
“My experience on the master's programme was a decisive turning point in my professional career. Since then, I have grown within the international tourism sector, acquiring tools and knowledge that have allowed me to take on responsibilities, first at Montblanc Town Council, and then at the Catalan Tourism Agency, at various European organisations and, currently, at the United Nations World Tourism Organisation, where I work in the Department for Market Intelligence, Policy and Competitiveness. I took the second edition of the master's degree in 2018-2019 and its specialised and practical training has been fundamental to the consolidation of my professional career. In addition to sustainable and responsible tourism management, the master's degree has given me a global perspective and an international network that together enable me to tackle the current challenges facing the sector with innovation and commitment.”

“Getting my Master in International Markets at the URV allowed me to grow as an individual and connect with people from all over the world. The class material pushed me to think harder and think differently about a wide variety of topics concerning international markets and ultimately, this helped me build a world perspective. Without this program, I am fairly certain that I would not be where I am today. Thanks to this program, I feel comfortable conducting and engaging in international business.”

“The URV Master’s helped me to broaden my perspectives on the management and importance of innovation in entrepreneurial projects and society in general. It also helped me to lay the foundations I needed to create a business project in a completely unknown environment. Undoubtedly, however, what I would most like to highlight is the learning that was generated by sharing multiple hours, experiences and ideas with my professors, mentors and fellow entrepreneurs.”
