Our university's booth was staffed by all faculty members from the Department of Department of Tourism Management Faculty of Economics, and nearly 50 students in total, who were able to introduce the appeal of the department to a wide range of visitors, including the projects the department is working on in collaboration with local governments and seminar activities.
