Webinar 'Planning for a safe restart of the tourism industry'

Skål International Webinar Series #RebuildingTourism

'Planning for a safe restart of the tourism industry'.

With the participation of Harvard and Málaga Universities.


With an extensive global vaccination programme, the tourism industry is preparing to reopen. But is your business prepared for a safe return to business?

In this session we have discussed  several effective actions for a safe return: what works (but few do), what doesn't work (and gives false confidence), as well as the consequences of not knowing the differences between them...

Presented by Ramón Sánchez Piña, PhD in Environmental Health from the Harvard School of Public Health and Principal Investigator on projects related to sustainability and technologies for disease prevention. We have also been joined in this analysis by María Luisa Gómez-Jiménez, PhD in Law, Tenured Professor of Administrative Law at Málaga University. The session was led by Daniela Otero, CEO of Skål International.

We accompany our members in the restart of the Tourism activity

"At such a crucial time when the reconstruction of the tourism industry is close at hand and many countries are already preparing for the opening up of tourism, Skål International wants to help tourism entrepreneurs and accompany them in the process.
In order to do so, we have contacted Harvard University and the University of Malaga and offer our members interesting information and tools to help them restart their activities."
