MY DAY-TO-DAY

Dynamism, Details, And New Challenges

At Meetings & Events, every day is a different journey. In my daily work, I manage and present interesting proposals to our clients in the main Spanish destinations. I often visit and negotiate with suppliers, plan and conduct site inspections, and, of course, operate on-site. Being on-site is my favourite part because it's where the magic happens, and all our hard work comes to life.

I am a big fan of detail and enjoy proposing local elements to our clients so that they can get to know the destination as well as we do. This makes our daily work very challenging and fun!
WHY TRAVEL?

MICE Is NICE

It was always clear to me that I wanted to study for a Tourism Degree. My interest in learning different languages, travelling, gastronomy, and discovering other cultures led me to embark on this exciting journey. When I finished my studies in Tourism, I immediately specialised in events management.

In this sector, you learn something new every day and meet people from whom you learn even more. I think all event planners identify with the fact that we love to make people feel at home. This is what I like the most.

MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) is a dynamic sector with great relevance for destinations. It is a vocational and unpredictable industry, where we must constantly be up-to-date and never stop learning.

Events require hours and hours of preparation, and as the big day approaches, moments of stress arise. We must always be ready for unforeseen events. The key is to anticipate and plan well. Providing solutions, being practical, and using common sense will lead to a successful event.
WHY KUONI TUMLARE?
CORE VALUE

Respect Always Comes First

I am pleased that Kuoni Tumlare prioritises Respect as one of its core values.

Respect is a value I emphasise in both my professional and personal life. In MICE, where we work for and with people, cultivating good relationships with clients and suppliers is crucial for successful events. This requires a foundation of respect to foster an environment of tolerance and effective communication, creating a positive atmosphere. This, in turn, enhances our ability to work more effectively and achieve better results.
