Au cours du premier semestre de ma troisi\u00e8me ann\u00e9e d’\u00e9tudes en gestion du tourisme et des loisirs, je pensais avoir presque atteint le summum de mes connaissances et de mon exp\u00e9rience dans ce domaine. Apr\u00e8s avoir suivi de nombreux cours passionnants tout au long de mes \u00e9tudes et effectu\u00e9 le stage de mes r\u00eaves \u00e0 l’a\u00e9roport de Bruxelles lors de ma deuxi\u00e8me ann\u00e9e, je ne savais pas vraiment quelle direction prendre pour mon deuxi\u00e8me stage. I reflected on my passions which, besides travel and aviation, include writing, and I wondered what I could do with it. In the list of internship opportunities, the tourism website GRANDE.be caught my eye because of one sentence: \u201cWriting articles about destinations.\u201d I immediately thought: \u201cThat\u2019s the one!\u201d, I could put my passion for writing to use. In the end, the internship turned out to be much more than that, as I was given the opportunity to manage the company and was also shortly given the title of press trip coordinator and journalist. The internship provided me with knowledge and insights that I hadn\u2019t yet gained during my studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au cours de mon stage chez GRANDE.be, j’ai pu d\u00e9couvrir la gestion d’une entreprise touristique, et les t\u00e2ches qui m’ont \u00e9t\u00e9 confi\u00e9es s’inscrivaient pleinement dans ce cadre. Mes principales t\u00e2ches consistaient \u00e0 : r\u00e9diger ou relire des articles et les publier sur le site web, cr\u00e9er la newsletter hebdomadaire, contacter de nombreuses destinations et h\u00f4tels dans diff\u00e9rentes langues pour l’organisation de voyages de presse, participer moi-m\u00eame \u00e0 ces voyages et ecrire des articles \u00e0 ce sujet, ainsi que collaborer \u00e0 un projet de refonte du site web. Ces t\u00e2ches m’ont apport\u00e9 des connaissances et des perspectives que je n’avais pas encore acquises au cours de mes \u00e9tudes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tu effectues la majeure partie de tes t\u00e2ches, et donc de ton stage, chez toi, devant ton ordinateur. Au d\u00e9but, cela ne m’attirait pas beaucoup, car je ne souhaite pas non plus passer mes journ\u00e9es devant un ordinateur dans le cadre de mon futur travail. Cependant, c’est pratique pour ton stage, car tu n’as pas besoin de te d\u00e9placer tous les jours. Tu n’es attendu dans un espace de coworking qu’un ou deux jours par semaine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I started my internship, I had absolutely no idea how tourism media and journalism worked. For example, I wondered how a blogger could make profit when they had to spend so much money on travel. That is, until I heard about the term \u201cpress trip\u201d for the first time during my internship, and suddenly a whole new world opened up to me. In addition to the majority of your tasks, which you perform on the computer, you get the chance to go on press trips yourself. For me, this was the highlight of the internship. I got to travel to the Czech Republic, Malta, and Switzerland and got to know these destinations in detail alongside great groups of interesting people from the same industry, such as journalists, travel agents, and influencers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that it is of course expected from you that you write about the destination and your experiences there to publish on the GRANDE.be website. This part was for me just as fun as the trip itself, it almost felt like I was keeping a diary about my amazing journeys to these countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organiser des voyages de presse et y participer m’a permis de mieux comprendre les aspects “business” du secteur, et plus particuli\u00e8rement ceux li\u00e9s aux m\u00e9dias de voyage. Cela a en fait \u00e9veill\u00e9 mon int\u00e9r\u00eat pour en faire mon m\u00e9tier \u00e0 l’avenir, ce qui n’\u00e9tait pas le cas auparavant, car je ne parvenais pas vraiment \u00e0 m’imaginer dans ce r\u00f4le. Overall, I definitely recommend this internship to anyone with an interest in writing, journalism and media (of course in terms of tourism).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
