Barcelona es una ciudad que ofrece a sus residentes una alta calidad de vida.
Tiene una vibrante vida nocturna y puedes perderte en su rica cultura, sus playas cercanas y su impresionante arquitectura.
Si estás interesado en este tipo de estilo de vida, ¿por qué no te lanzas y te sumerges en esta maravillosa ciudad?
This year I had the opportunity to do my internship at Cititravel, one of the leading agencies in the business tourism and events sector in Spain. Cititravel DMC is a Destination Management Company specialized in organizing corporate events such as meetings, incentives, and conferences. The company was elected ‘Spain’s Best MICE Organizer 2023’. During my internship, I worked in the operations department as a Project Assistant. Most of the time, when a company wants to organize an event in Barcelona, the first thing that I had to do is coordinate with local suppliers, including hotels, restaurants, venues, and transportation, to check their availability on the dates that the clients requested. I had to make a proposal, which consist in a PowerPoint presentation with information about ours offers, and a quotation in Excel.
Algunas veces estábamos invitados a nuevos o renovados hoteles con un catering o un desayuno. También nos hacían un tour por todo el hotel, las habitaciones, el restaurante, la piscina, las salas de reuniones y más. Para la empresa es muy importante conocer nuevos lugares para ofrecerlos a los clientes.
During my internship, I was also invited to a cocktail workshop by Dry Martini. In this workshop, they showed us how to make a Passion Fruit Daiquiri cocktail with some snacks. For us, it is very interesting because we can offer these kinds of activities to our clients.
I also attended to different events to make sure that everything ran easily. For example, when we had a bike tour as an activity for the clients, we needed to make sure that they were at the location on time, that the number of bikes is correct, talk to the guides etc. Speaking different languages is very important in this sector. You must be able to speak English, Spanish and French in my office.
Trabajar en Cititravel me ha dado la oportunidad de trabajar con un gran equipo. Cada trabajo que hice, desde coordinar eventos hasta tratar con clientes extranjeros, fue una valiosa experiencia de aprendizaje. Aprendí mucho sobre lo que ofrece la ciudad de Barcelona. Trabajar en este sector es muy diverso y cada día hay algo nuevo que aprender.
Adiós
