On November 29 and 30, someone from the Hall of the Fortezza da Basso will host a cycle of very, very useful seminars: we have called them the “Toolbox”, the name of which contains the sense of our intention.

About ten themes will be addressed in meeting of about 50 minutes each, undertaken by experts in the field, with few ties to companies 😉

Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and others for tourism and hospitality industry agents, in order to arrive at a destination: interactive workshops reserved for who wishes to deepen their understanding of “how to,” improve their knowledge, and come out of the two days at the Fortezza da Basso with ideas to put in practice immediately.

In the background, concreteness.

Basic and advanced seminars.
