Dunstable College students visit Lloret de Mar in Spain

Travel and Tourism students from Dunstable College recently enjoyed a study break to Lloret de Mar in Spain. Departing from Luton airport on a cold Monday morning, the trip proved to be very educational for the 38 students who attended, enabling the students to gain further information on the hospitality industry.

The students experienced a mix of educational visits and free time during their trip. This included a behind the scenes tour of their hotel and a visit to a traditional flamenco show called ‘La Masia’ in Tordera, a province in Barcelona.

Second year student Aimee Aslam commented, “I thought that the study visit was extremely successful. Everyone had a great time and it was a brilliant opportunity”.

Travel and Tourism tutor, Maggie parsons added, “The study trips provide a good opportunity for students to transfer a lot of the information they have learnt in the classroom to a real life environment. Both staff and students enjoyed the experience, and we’re looking forward to next year’s trip”.
