After a lazy Sunday we woke up feeling great today. So the first lecture of the day couldn´t be more appropriate. The Estonian teacher gave an excellent and very interesting lecture about wellness and wellbeing tourism. We even had the opportunity to know more about our own wellness habits. Surprise, surprise… some of us aren´t that healthy! Many things to improve in order to become more healthy.
And after that we had our daily guilty pleasure of this summer school: fried potatoes! In Portugal we use to say: do as I say, don´t do as I do!
The second lecture of the day was from the Dutch teachers. Steffen and Konstantin talked about how a place becomes a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and presented us the case study of the Wadden Sea. Professor Steffen’s lecture was focused on the economic effects on tourism and the great importance of cooperation between all the stakeholders in tourism, even more when we are talking about a place that wants to be part of that list.
The second part of the lecture from the Netherlands teachers was focused on World Heritage Sites of UNESCO, and the specific conditions that a place needs to achieve in order to get that nomination.
Professor Konstantin gave us some highlights about branding and the differences between place branding and destination branding.
As the lectures finished at 5h30, we decided to go the beach (meaning get across the street) to get some tan and enjoy a refreshing swim. We stayed there for almost two hours and then we came back home (we already refer to Hostel Korotan as our own home) to get prepared to our picnic at the beach with Estonians, Slovenians, Dutchies and Croatian guys. It´s getting usual to go have dinner outside.
The picnic was great, Dino and Sander were having very romantic moments sharing food… Just see for yourselves. Unfortunately we had to return to the hostel because we need to come here to let you know about our day. As long as we are almost done here, we’re still thinking of going back and go for a midnight swim under the moon.
See you tomorrow
