The new academic year is off to a great start for the International Business & Tourism students at Hogeschool Inholland. Their first project this year? Creating a study trip for their fellow first-year students. 🗺️

To kick off the project, our colleague Rianne joined them for a guest lecture, sharing a behind-the-scenes look at our work in Marketing & PR, along with practical insights and tools to get them started.

We’re happy to be back at Inholland and continue this yearly tradition. Always great to share our experience with the next generation of tourism and business professionals.

We wish all the students good luck with the project!
