Technology For HospitalityTravelTourism
TRAVEL TECH is a movement conceived by Vinicius Geraldo, CEO of HS LATAM, the company that is developing and coordinating this event. Vinicius is also the Founder of Travel Tech.
This idea first appeared during the FIT fair in Buenos Aires, on that occasion the Master Class Nordeste would be held in May, with the aim of creating an educational movement for the global hotel industry, however due to the pandemic the event ended up being canceled.
Now, the Travel Tech Global will be an online meeting bringing together professionals and entrepreneurs from various countries in order to address and dissert various subjects within the global hospitality industry.
