Recently, students of IIYAT PSU became participants of the podcast show “ProdVENTUES”, which was held at the Mashuk Knowledge Center. During the recording of the podcast, our guys actively participated in the conversation, asked questions.

Our students discussed tourism in the Caucasus (the infrastructure of resorts), stereotypes (what residents of other regions know about the Caucasus), as well as the expectation / reality of tourists from our region.

Among the speakers of the program were representatives and heads of media, creative and travel agencies.

Within the framework of this event, it became possible to identify new directions and tools that allow developing tourism in the Caucasus, as well as popular types of tourism in the region.

After the podcast show, students and teachers of PSU were given a tour of the territory of the Mashuk Knowledge Center.
