Academic Trek
One of the basic subjects in the first semester of Hotel and Tourism Administration Program is Tourism Theory. Knowing this, first semester students prepared a dynamic activity in groups to share the information they discovered about a specific Colombian region or an English-speaking or a francophone country. The groups were organized like this:
1. Caribbean Region
2. Andean Region
3. Pacific Region
4. Orinoquía Region
5. Insular Region
6. English - speaking country: Canada
7. Francophone countries: Morocco and France.
An eighth group selected some important monuments of Colombia.
Besides the decoration of each stand with balloons and coloring posters, the students brought some typical food samples; from Colombia: arepa de huevo, empanada, cocadas, pan de bono, bandeja paisa, tamal, bocadillo, and chicha de maíz. From Canada: cupcakes with the flag of Canada, and from francophone countries: chicken tagine and crepes with banana and chocolate sauce.
The students demonstrated their knowledge about tourism and they also talked about the importance of each tourist attraction selected.
