“This year for the first time, I attended the PDP course, Marketing Management, in Ithaca. It was a great experience! I had the opportunity to know many people with different cultures and a different way to work in the world of the hotelier. The class was well organized and the Professor great, involving and motivating. I came back home with a much more open mind!”
