The Mountain University in Edolo hosted a three-day intensive course in Techniques for the promotion of tourism products and services on 10th, 11th and 12th April.
From the 10th to the 12th of April, Anna Giorgi, Director of the Centre of Applied Studies for the Sustainable Management and Protection of Mountain Areas, was the representative of the activities in the context of Higher Technical Education (HTE) in “Techniques for the promotion of tourism products and services with attention to local resources, opportunities and events – local and organic products and rural tourism”.
The course, organized by IMIBERG Bergamo as the lead agency, aimed to train experts in the sustainable development of the organic sector, for the management of the supply of organic products through direct relationships with producers and to develop agro-food potential for the development of tourism through events, marketing, promotion, ethical purchasing groups and projects related to the primary sector.
Participants were able to learn more on such issues by visiting local farms, carrying out field trips and discovering more about research conducted by the Mountain University.
