The way we communicate our message might vary, sometimes we’ve benefit from video, others we have used text and now we have decided to do a presentation. BUT, our message, our principles and our travel philosophy ALWAYS keeps the same: Live the destinations instead of visiting them.

Last week the Trourist team had the opportunity to go to Barcelona to present the company at the Re’09 event, organized by Infonomía. But apart from presenting trourist and working as part of the staff, we also had time to learn from the keynotes and the activities organized. I would like to highlight the following topics:

- Africa: Unfortunately, Africa is often out of this type of events. But it didn’t happen at the Re’09. Antonella Broglia talked to us about the opportunities for investors at this country. Her vision was reaffirmed by  Xumo Nounjio, an artist and entrepreneur from Camerun. He said “In Africa there is no need for rice; all we need are firms which respect our identity”.

- Abilities:  Eric Villalón let us know about the development of personal abilities from his own experience. I made it mine one of the ideas he talked about: “We all have abilities to do big things; we’ll only need hard work and perseverance to achieve them”.

- Emotions: Xesco Espar showed us emotions aren’t static and can be controlled. “Don’t be afraid of falling down; just try not to be long time down there”.

- Trends: Economical, technological, educational and social trends also came up during the two days.
