La Universidad de La Laguna recibe 305 estudiantes ERASMUS de Europa durante el primer trimestre del año:
305 estudiantes visitantes de un destino que han elegido entre muchos, por el motivo principal de aprender, y también con la motivación de conocer su clima, su paisaje, su gente, su cultura:
¿Cuándo nos vamos a dar cuenta que no solo el turista de hotel y agencia de viaje es quien visita nuestra isla?
¿Cuándo nos vamos a dar cuenta que queremos viajar por muchos motivos más allá de la playa y el sol?
¿Cuando nos vamos a dar cuenta que ese viajero más allá de la playa y el sol enriquece la economía de la zona en toda su extensión?
Vamos a volver al viajero Erasmus de la ULL y a esa otra cantidad sin cuantificar de alumnos ERASMUS que vienen para prácticas formativas en empresas:
Ellos no se alojan en hoteles sino en los barrios más castizos.
Ellos compran en mercados, en pequeños comercios locales.
Nunca sabremos cual es su gasto medio por visitante pero si se quedan 3 meses, imagina cual puede ser, aun siendo estudiantes.
Ellos tienen mucho más tiempo para visitar esos pequeños rincones que hacen especial nuestro destino.
Ellos tiene mucho más tiempo para conocernos y hablar en la redes de la parte humana y cercana de Tenerife.
Ellos traen a amigos y familiares que viene a visitarles y se convierten en vendedores activos de nuestro destino.
Hay 100 razones para viajar, 100 tipos de turistas ¿Los conocemos? ¿los cuidamos? Yo creo que no.Solo nos interesa el viajero que busca un cinco estrellas o un spa o un congreso o un todo incluido:
Ese que se queda menos de una semana….
Ese que no sale del hotel……..
Ese que solo conoce nuestra isla desde una guagua …..
Ese que no comerá en un Guachinche……
Ese que solo hablará de nuestras playas y su hotel.
En TJT recibimos a estos visitantes tan especiales y les enseñamos a querer Tenerife y a vivir durante 3 meses entre su gente, para mí lo que más valor tiene de un destino, lo que realmente te hace conocerlo. Esa es la verdadera esencia de viajar. Que nunca la perdamos.
Feliz Semana,
Mariví Gracia
The University of La Laguna receives 305 ERASMUS students:
305 students visitors to a destination that theyhave chosen among many others, for the main reason to learn, and the motivation of its climate, its landscape, its people, its culture:
When are we going to realize that not only tourists visit our island?
When are we going to realize that we travel for many reasons beyond the beach and the sun?
When we will realize that the traveler beyond the beach and sun enriches the economy of the area?
Let’s talk about the Erasmus students from Universidad de La Laguna and so many others coming for internships period:
They do not stay in hotels but in the most traditional neighborhoods.
They buy in markets and small local shops.
We will never know w their average spending per visitor but if they stay three months, you can imagine…..,
They have much more time to visit the little corners of Tenerife.
They have much more time to meet and talk in internet about the most human part of Tenerife.
They bring friends and family who comes to visit them and become active sellers of our destiny.
There are 100 reasons to travel, 100 kinds of tourists: Do we know about them? Do we care about them? I don’t think so. W only care about the traveler looking for a five-star hotel or a spa or a conference or an all-inclusive resort:
The one that stays less than a week ….
The one that does not leave the hotel ……..
The one that that only see our island from a bus …..
The one that will not eat at a “guachinche” ……
The one that will only you speak of our beaches and hotel.
In TJT we receive these special students visitors and teach them to love Tenerife and live for 3 months among its people, to me the real value of a destination That is the true essence of travel, its people. Never forget that when you travel which ever the reason taking to that place.
Happy week,

Elder, Sergio and Sara are spending 2 months in Tenerife as part of the Erasmus programme from Escola Tecnica de Barcelos, Portugal. They are learning at http://www.hovima-hotels.com/es/hotel-costa-adeje.html
They have become part of the team at the kitchen of Hovima Costa Adeje Hotel.
Radio Sur Adeje made this radio interview where they tell in a very good Spanish, how wonderful welcome they received from the hotel team and how much they are enjoying the island:

You can also see them at work during the buffet service at the restaurant of Hovima Costa Adeje:
Os invito a ver este espectacular fragmento de la promoción de Dolce & Gabbana para su colección verano 2015:
Mezclan la tradición del toreo española con la antigua cultura siciliana. En mi opinión es una espectacular y atractiva fórmula para vender moda. Cuando la ví automáticamente pensé en una de las tradiciones más icónicas y espectaculares de Tenerife: EL CARNAVAL.
Usar nuestro carnaval para promocionar la MODA DE TENERFIE podría darnos una visibilidad única y brillante hacia Europa y hacer que la industria de la moda mira hacia aquí. Y no solo para promocionar la moda sino TENERIFE COMO DESTINO TURÍSTICO ¿Puedes imaginar una forma más brillante, colorida y espectacular de promocionar Tenerife?
Salgamos de la normalidad y pongamos un poco de luz para que nos vean.

Check this amazing the new promo of Dolce & Gabbana for summer 2015 colection:
They are mixing the Spanish “torero” look with the Sicilian italian traditions. On my opinión this is a spectacular and atractive way of selling fashion. When I saw it I automatically thought about Tenerife and one of its most amazing and iconic traditions: THE CARNIVAL Using carnaval to promote Tenerife Fashion could be the key to make the European Fashion Industry in Europe looking towards Tenerife. Can you imagine something more bright, colourful and shiny way of promoting Tenerife????

I am going to need your help if you have done your internship at the entertainment department or you are actually working. I am sure there is something missing, please let me know….and if you are in the pictures or in the videos I am sure you have many more things to say.
This is my idea of the top 20 of what you need to become the perfect hotel entertainer:
1.- A big smile….
2.-A bigger one when you ask a client to participate and he answers LEAVE ME ALONE.
3.-A crazy team around you to become a real entertainment team.
4.-A few languages and basic notions of 5 others (enough to greeting clients)
5.- The ability to change to one language to another in seconds.
6.-The strenght to greet people all day long non stop.
7.-The capacity to become the best friend of all the kids at the resort at the same time.
8.-The patience to listen to the life story of all the retired clients at the resort.
9.- The memory to remember the name of all the frequent clients.
10.-Multitask must be the best of your qualities.
11.-To be a dancer, a good one on the shows and a funny one with the kids.
12.-To be a sport trainer
13.-To be a magician.
14.-To be an actor.
15.-To be a Singer.
16.-To be a showman–showoman.
17.-To make a full of yourself several times a day.
18.-To pretend to be spontaneous all day long.
19.-To be happy.
20.-To desired to become invisible around 10 times a day.
Let us show you some of VIDEOS our students trying to do the 20 tips at the same time:

Dancing coreographie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA3QNgwiBIg&index=4&list=UUtkjEzU3SOsSK1cJzHUXk_A
I was inspired by all the students that enjoy an internship at this department at any of the hotels in Tenerife: Edith, Kristine, Alva, Verónica, Tobias, Therese, Jassmin, Kerem, Julia, Vilma, Chantale, Sean, Malin, Angelica, Elin, Lucas, Sanna, Amanda, Renske, Etienne, Alexandra, Ekaterina, Maria, Goryacheva, Lisa, Rebecca, Andrea ,,,,…and so many others.
Of course we don’t need to be perfect with all that 20 ¡¡¡ Just doing your best and try hard on the number 19th will be enough to be a good entertainer.

We love it, gracias Jolanta ¡¡¡¡
