Ibai Ruiz Montoya eta Laura Rudel Ayerra, lehengo eta bigarren mailako GIAT-Turismoko ikasleak, Madrilen urtero emanten den (Nazio Arteko Turismo Azoka) FITURera lan egitera joateko aukera izan dute, 2025eko urtarrilaren 22tik- 26ra Euskadi Basque Country standean lan egiteko.

FITUR Madrileko IFEMA azoka zentroan egiten den nazioarteko turismo azoka da. 

Bertan Munduko herrialde ezberdinak eta Espainiako hiriburu eta autonomia-erkidegoak standak bertako turismoa patrozinatzen dute. Guk Euskadiko autonomia-erkidegoaren stand-ean lan egin genuen Euskadi Basque Country markarekin, bertan hainbat postu bete genituen, hala nola erakus mahaian edo enpresen eremuan. Stand-a aurten txalaparta izan du inspirazio gisa, bertan erakustokiaren barruan hainbat mostradore, aurkezpen-gune bat, enpresentzako bilera gune bat eta taberna bat zeuden. Erakusmahaiak hiru hiriburuek osatzen zituzten (Gasteiz, Bilbo eta Donostia), Arabako Errioxa, Euskal Mendiak eta haranak eta Bizkaiko eta Gipuzkoako kostaldeak.

Esan dezakegu oso esperientzia positiboa eta aberasgarria izan zela guretzat, gure esparruan nola lan egin ikasten aritu ginelako eta asko gozatu genuelako. Eskerrak eman nahi dizkizuegu Basque Tour eta Eventokiri Euskadi Basque Countryko ordezkari gisa FITURera joateko eman ziguten aukeragatik.

25/1/2025-FITUR SPEECH 

First year student Ibai Ruiz Montoya and second year student Laura Rudel had the opportunity to go to work at FITUR to work at the Euskadi Basque Country stand from January 22, 2025 to January 26, 2025. 

Fitur is the international tourism fair that is held in Madrid, exactly at the Ifema venue. This fair has stands from communities in Spain and countries from around the world. There we were working at the Euskadi stand, occupying different positions such as at the counter or in the business area. The stand was recreating a txalaparta, with its wood and sheep skins. Inside the stand there were different counters, a presentation area, a table area for companies and a bar. The counters were made up of the three capitals (Gasteiz, Bilbo and Donosti) along with the areas of Rioja Alavesa, Basque Mountains and Valleys and the coast of Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa.

We can say that it was a very positive and enriching experience for us since we were learning how to work in our field and we really enjoyed it. Thank Basque Tour and Eventoki for the opportunity they gave us to attend Fitur as representatives of Euskadi Basque Country.

25/1/2025 FITURRERA IRTEERA

Aurreko asteburuan, turismo goi mailako zikloko lehenengo eta bigarren mailako ikasleok FITUR Madrid 2025, nazioarteko turismo azokara joateko aukera paregabea izan genuen. Ekitaldi honek funtsezko erreferentzia-puntu bat eskaintzen digu gure prestakuntzarako, turismo sektorearen joerak, zerbitzuak eta aukerak ezagutzeko.

Gure bisitan, azokako 9 pabiloi ezberdin esploratu genituen, eta bereziki nabarmendu ziren Afrika, Latinoamerika, Andaluzia, Euskadi eta zerbitzu turistikoen enpresak, hala nola kruzeroak eta autoen alokairua. Eremu bakoitzean, aurkezpenek eta jarduerek erakusten zuten eskualde bakoitzaren izaera berezia, eta tokietan berezitasun eta autentikotasun sentsazioa sortzen zuten. Gainera, jokoetan, zozketetan eta ekintza interaktiboetan parte hartu genuen, tokiko produktuak dastatu genituen, eta, noski, Afrikako edo Latinoamerikako dantza tipiko eta kultura aurkezpenekin gozatu genuen.

Esperientzia honetatik ateratako ikaskuntzarik baliotsuenetako bat izan zen munduko parte bakoitzak berezko eta paregabeak diren erakargarritasunak dituela, turismoa mundu mailan aberasten duten bizipenak eskaintzen dituztela. Erakusleek beti erakutsi zizkiguten beren zerbitzuak eta produktuak, eta horrek aukera eman zigun sektore honen dinamika ulertzeko eta ikuspegi zabala izateko.

Ziur gaude, bisita honek ikuspegi globalago eta berritzaileagoa garatzeko aukera eman zigula turismoari buruz, eta gure deia eta pasioa indartu zela. Musika aurkezpenak, dastaketak eta Afrikako edota Latinoamerikako dantzak ahaztezinak izan ziren.

Hori guztia kontuan hartuta, ekintza hau gomendatzen dugu ez bakarrik turismo ikasleei, baizik eta turismoaz interesatutako edonori. FITUR aukera paregabea da kultura ezberberdinekin partekatzeko, haien ohiturak, hizkuntzak eta tradizioak ikasteko, eta turismoaren mundu mailako eraginaren ulermena zabaltzeko.

Gainera, FITUR bisitatu ahal izan bagenu, Madril ere bisitatu ahal izan genuen hala nola Gran Via eta Sofia Erreginaren Museoa.

Eskerrak eman nahi digu gure irakasleei, Nereari, Nereri eta Amaiari, esperientzia ahaztezina kudeatzeagatik, baita institutuari ere, garraioaren eta FITUR-era sartzeko sarreraren laguntzarekin, eta gainerako gastuak, hala nola ostatua, estaltzeko aukera emateagatik.

Mila esker esperientzia hau posible egin zuten guztiei!

25/1/2025-TRIP TO FITUR

On the weekend of January 25, the first and second year students of the higher degree cycle in tourism had the opportunity to attend FITUR Madrid 2025, the international tourism fair. This event is a fundamental reference point for our training, as it provides us with key knowledge about trends, services and opportunities in the tourism sector and its tourist destinations.

During our visit, we were able to see the 9 pavilions of the fair, highlighting areas as striking as Africa, America, Europe, Andalusia, Euskadi and tourism service companies such as cruises and car rentals, among others. In each space, the presentations and activities reflected the unique essence of each region, making every corner feel special and authentic. In addition, we participated in games, raffles and interactive activities, tasted local products and enjoyed traditional dances.

One of the most valuable lessons we have learned from this experience was to discover that each part of the world has a special and unique attraction, offering unrepeatable experiences that enrich tourism at a global level. The exhibitors were always willing to show us their tourist resources, gastronomy, traditions, etc.

Undoubtedly, this visit allowed us to develop a more global and innovative perspective on tourism, reinforcing our vocation and passion for tourism. Activities such as musical presentations, tastings, traditional dances and traditional costumes were the most enjoyed moments, creating memories that we will hardly forget.

For all these reasons, we recommend this activity not only to students of tourism, but to anyone interested in traveling and learning about new tourist destinations. FITUR is a unique opportunity to learn about different destinations, cultures, customs and traditions, and to broaden our understanding of the impact of tourism worldwide.

We would like to express our most sincere thanks to our teachers Nerea, Nere and Amaia, who managed this unforgettable experience, as well as to the institute, which supported us in the logistics with transportation and a portion of the tickets to FITUR, making it possible for us to cover other personal expenses such as our stay in Madrid. 

In addition to visiting FITUR, we were also able to visit Madrid such as Gran Vía and the Museum of Reina Sofia.

Thank you very much to all of you for this unique and incredible experience!

Last Friday, October 4, Laura, the student of the second course of  Tourism, gave us a talk about the International Choir Competition of Tolosa, in which she has had the opportunity to attend as a guide of both international and national choirs.

During the talk she explained a little about the evolution and what the contest consists of, as well as the different functions she had to perform, such as guiding them in the language, assisting and coordinating the competitions and giving tours. He stated that it is very important to master languages such as English, French or Basque because you are the only reference to guide the choirs.

In addition, her partner Patricia, who also participated as a guide, told us how she lived the experience from her point of view and that it is not necessary to have a high level of English if you are accompanied. In fact, she was delighted and is eager to repeat the experience.

W ubiegły piątek, 4 października, jedna z uczennic naszej szkoły Francisco de Vitoria, Laura, która obecnie uczy sie na drógim roku Szkoły Wyższej w kierunku Turystyki, wygłosiła nam wykład na temat Międzynarodowego Konkursu Chóralnego w Tolosie, na którym miała okazje asystować jako przewodnik towarzyszący chórom. Podczas wykładu opowiedziała nam nieco o ewolucji konkursu, i na czym on polega, także o różnych funkcjach, które musiała wykonać jako przewodnik, takich jak: orientacja językowa, pomoc i koordynacja konkursów oraz organizowanie mini wycieczek. Dodała że bardzo ważne jest, aby biegle posługiwać się językami takimi jak angielski, francuski i baskijski ponieważ podczas pobytu tam jesteśmy ich jedynym punktem odniesienia. Ponadto jej koleżanka Patricia, która również uczestniczyła jako przewodnik, opowiedziała nam, jak przeżyła to doświadczenie z jej punktu widzenia. W rzeczywistości była zachwycona i nie może się doczekać powtórki. Chcieliśmy serdecznie podziękować naszym koleżankom za wygłoszenie referatu na temat Międzynarodowego Konkursu Chóralnego i za zachęcenie nas do wzięcia w nim udziału.

Hori dela eta, programaren barnean bazegoen hainbat hoteletara bisitak egiteko aukera, gure ikasleek praktikak egin zitzaketen enpresak bertatik bertara ezagutzeko.

Bestalde, programa honi esker Amsterdamgo Ostalaritza eta Turismo Eskola (ROC van Amsterdam MBO College Centrum) ere bisitatu zen, eta horrek zabaldu egiten du nazioartean Turismoari buruzko hezkuntza-arloan lan egin ahal izatea, bai eta irakasleekin Europako hainbat proiektutan lankidetzan aritzea ere.

Horretaz gain, Nerea gida-enpresa batzuekin harremanetan jarri zen, ikasleek praktikak mota honetako enpresetan ere egin ahal izan ditzaten.

This week in November, Tourism teacher Nerea Fz de Ortega Larruzea, from IES Francisco de Vitoria travelled to Amsterdam to participate in the activities organized by TRIBE NL. 

This possibility of traveling to Amsterdam has been due to the mobility that Erasmus+ offers for teachers.

Other teachers and Erasmus coordinators from different autonomous communities, such as from Madrid, Gijón, Valencia and Segovia, also attended these activities.

These activities were focused on providing our students with internships at the front office in hotels in the Netherlands.

That is why the programme included visits to different hotels, to see first-hand the companies where our students could develop their internships.

On the other hand, the programme also included a visit to the Amsterdam School of Hospitality and Tourism (ROC van Amsterdam MBO College Centrum), which expands the possibility of working on educational matters about Tourism at an international level, as well as collaborating with its teaching staff in various European projects.

In addition, Nerea contacted different guide companies with the final objective that the students can also do their internships in these type of companies.

GASTRONOMIA ETA FOLKLOREA

Francisco de Vitoria eskolaren goi-mailako zikloko Turismoko ikasleok, taldekideen artean hautatu ditugun herrialdeen aurkezpenak egin ditugu ETHAZI metodologiaren erronka bezala. 

Hautatu ditugun herrialdeak hurrengo laurak izan dira: Nepal, Honduras, Dominikar Errepublika eta Lazio eskualdea, Italian. Herrialdeei buruzko informazioa ahalik eta aberasgarriena izan dadin, arlo ezberdinak azaldu dira: gastronomia, folklorea, lan orduak… informazioa praktikoa eta ez astuna izateko, talde bakoitzak gure herrialdeko edo aukeratutako eremuetako janari tipikoak nahiz elementu kulturalak eraman ditugu, eta dantza batzuk ere egin ditugu. Amaieran merendola bat izan dugu Italiako eta Honduraseko janari tipikoekin.

GASTRONOMY AND FOLKLORE PRESENTATIONS

Between the days of 30th and 31st of October, the four groups of the 1st year of Tourism, presented their gastronomy and folklore parts of the “Traveling around the World “ task.

The challenge consisted of explaining and transmitting information about the typical dishes and traditional dances of Dominican Republic, Honduras, Nepal and the region of Lazio. It was such an interesting session where we learned about the traditions and the culinary habits of those places and we laughed a lot watching how the groups recreated their classical dances.

After performing the presentations correctly, all the groups share a time together tasting the typical foods of each country and region, moreover, the teachers also brought some sweet snacks. Thus, after carrying out the Erronka successfully we all went home happy and full, as we ate all the Italian, Dominican, Nepalese and Honduran food.

2023/10/31 TOLOSAKO ABESBATZA

Aurtengo 2023/2024 ikasturtean, Tolosako Abesbatza Lehiaketan gida laguntzaile gisa parte hartzeko aukera izan dugu.

31/10/2023 CHOIR OF TOLOSA

18/10/2023-TALKS ABOUT GIDES

On October 18th, the students of Tourism had the opportunity to hear some of our classmates talk about their experiences working as touristic guides. 

From these students we learnt a lot of things to have in mind when working in this field and how important it is to enjoy the experience of working with people, as it can you not only develop and get better when it comes to talking in public and expressing yourself better, but also it’s a great opportunity to make contacts with them and learn from their experiences as well.

Apart from this, they also talked about the importance of languages, as guides have to communicate with a lot of people and it is important to be able to unfold in different situations. Moreover, they emphasized on the importance of being proactive and having contacts to get more opportunities and have more experience.

We found this experience enlightening and loved having them with us and being able to get a view into a possible future. We are always grateful to Naira Ajler, Idaira Antolín, Ainhoa González, Isa Marron and Laura Rudel.
