Did you know that 70% of travelers desire a deeper cultural immersion when they visit foreign lands? Yet, many return home feeling they've only skimmed the surface. If you're planning a European river cruise, here's how to truly experience local cultures. Firstly, ditch the touristy spots. Yes, they're beautiful, but they're also crowded and commercialized. Instead, venture into the heart of the city, where locals live, eat, and play. This is where you'll find authentic cuisine, traditional music, and age-old customs. Secondly, learn a few phrases in the local language. Not only does it show respect, but it also opens doors to conversations with locals. They're the best source of insider tips and hidden gems. Thirdly, participate in local traditions. Whether it's a folk dance in Hungary or a wine festival in France, joining in local events is a fun and engaging way to understand the culture. Lastly, hire a local guide. They'll provide insights into the history, customs, and traditions that you won't find in guidebooks. Remember, cultural immersion isn't about ticking off a checklist. It's about connecting with people, understanding their way of life, and creating memories that last a lifetime. So, on your next European river cruise, don't just be a tourist. Be a traveler. Immerse yourself in the culture and truly experience the destination. Do you have any tips for cultural immersion? Share them in the comments.

Disappointing lack of progress on this front … but will be a real breakthrough when it comes, both for integrating Hengqin with Macau and for boosting the MICE industry. The potential for Macau to build 100,000 hotel rooms in Hengqin over the next decade should not be laughed off. Vegas didn’t get to where it is today in a couple of years. It took decades for it to become America’s conventions king. Macau and Hengqin could become the same for China - while eclipsing Singapore and Hong Kong as the region’s premier MICE destination.

It's Erika's turn today, to tell us about her role and experience at MI Malta. "As co-founder at MI Malta, I've had the privilege of witnessing the company's inception and evolution over the past 19 years. Time seems to have flown by, yet each day presents new challenges and opportunities in this dynamic industry. My role is multifaceted, and while I may wear many hats, my true passion lies in organizing unforgettable events for our clients, putting it all together and convincing them on the fine details to fit their goals. Seeing the success of our collective efforts is incredibly rewarding. Of course, every job has its pros and cons. For me, the line between work and social life often blurs. This means the demanding nature of the job, coupled with the inevitable late nights and client meetings, can take a toll on finding that elusive work-life balance. Reflecting on the industry as a whole, it has undergone significant shifts post-Covid. Clients now face greater uncertainty and are hesitant to commit to long-term plans, so that gives us a shorter lead time to put it all together. As prices rise and budgets shrink, the pressure to deliver exceptional results within tighter parameters has never been more pronounced. It's a time that calls for creativity, innovation, and thinking outside the box to meet the evolving needs of our clients. One area where our industry can undoubtedly improve is in our responsibility towards the environment. While improvements have been made, we must accelerate our efforts to embrace sustainable practices. Despite the challenges, I remain energized by the opportunity to collaborate with clients and bring their visions to life. Whether it's brainstorming ideas for their next event or navigating the intricacies of event planning. At the end of the day I simply love what I do." #malta #eventprofs #eventplanners #colleague #opinion #dmc #destinationmanagementcompany

Let us today share some useful information about accommodations in Bilbao. If you are planning to purchase your tickets for QA&TEST (remember, we are in the final days to do so!) and are having difficulty finding lodging in the center of Bilbao, do not worry. This #conference takes place in a city with excellent transportation connections, and I would like to offer some suggestions: 1) Firstly, Bilbao offers a wide variety of tourist accommodations, such as apartments, which you can find on platforms like Airbnb. If you prefer to stay in a hotel, do not be concerned if the best options are located in nearby municipalities like Getxo, Santurtzi, or Portugalete. All of these places are well connected to the center of Bilbao via metro, train, and buses, allowing you to reach the Euskalduna Palace without any issues. 2) Furthermore, these towns offer great attractions. In Getxo, you can find beautiful beaches (and the weather is lovely here right now!) and special places like the Old Port. Santurtzi is a fishing village where you can also savor delicious freshly caught fish, and in Portugalete, you'll find the Hanging Bridge, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2007 I hope this information is helpful for your trip to Bilbao, and that you enjoy QA&TEST! If you need further recommendations or details, please do not hesitate to ask, we will be happy to help: info@qatest.org #qatest #conference #conferences #software #softwaretesting #testing #embedded #october #Bilbao #Spain
