The Tourism Lab

Our team representing at Vinitaly USA this year! We love the spirits and wine business, and getting to meet many more industry colleagues through events like these. Thank you, Chicago! 💥

It was a busy week at WTE Miami! 💥 It was our first time as Cámara de Comercio de Mujeres en Estados Unidos de América and The Tourism Lab participating in this fantastic travel industry event hosted by Miami International Airport and Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau. It was overwhelmingly positive to see the interest of women in our industry to connect with other female leaders and support each other in our different businesses. Our community is growing and thriving! It was also very exciting to see many familiar faces from my previous life in the airline business (love my Spirit Airlines team) and getting to meet so many new people from many destinations and other areas of tourism and travel that joined this second edition of the event. Thanks to Javier Perez-Palencia and Bryan Juliatti for making this event a huge success for all of us exhibitors. We look forward to 2025! #wtemiami #miami #travelindustry #tourism Yamilet Rivas Marco Muralles Leandro Tripodi Marisol Hernandez Pamela Penn John Buschman, Ph.D. Jean Marie Altema [altɛːma] Nerea Pedruzo Suso Eric Engel Diego Alcala Constantine Juranis Valeria Bucheli Pedro Pérez Mejías Steve Turk Guadalupe Jacinto PROCOLOMBIA International Air Transport Association (IATA) Visit Jamaica Spirit Airlines Tangy Management

💥 Raising a glass of Brandy Fundador as we celebrate the positive impact and future of AI! I had the privilege of joining the Fundador team at the 'AI for Humanity’ Dinner, an exclusive event held in New York ahead of the United Nations 'Summit of the Future.' It was a remarkable evening hosted by Carme Artigas, where Heads of State, Ministers, and global leaders gathered to explore the role of technology and Artificial Intelligence in shaping a more sustainable and secure future. The evening was made even more memorable as we introduced approximately 70 distinguished guests to the exceptional Fundador Supremo portfolio (aged 15 and 18 years), showcasing the quality and heritage of Spain’s first brandy. It was an honor to represent such a prestigious brand at an event focused on driving global collaboration and innovation. This event also held special significance as Fundador celebrates its 150th anniversary this year—a testament to the enduring legacy and craftsmanship that have defined the brand since its origins in Jerez. A big thank you to the amazing Fundador team - Angel Piña Serrano, Andrew Sinclair, Karla Handal, MBA, Beatriz Fierro Clavero, Maria (Nani) Arenas - for a wonderful evening and for making The Tourism Lab a part of this special event!
