Our students participated in an international conference in Albania in April 2026 as part of the short-term mobility program of the Pannonia Scholarship Program, and Kamilla Gáncs wrote a summary of the event.

“Between April 27–30, as Tourism and Hospitality students of the University of Pannonia, we had the opportunity to participate in an international professional conference in Albania, hosted at the Aleksandër Moisiu University of Durrës, as part of the the Pannonia Scholarship Program.

During the “Family Business Forum – Symposium” conference, we attended inspiring presentations about the development of family tourism businesses, the role of education and international cooperation, and the future of tourism.

However, one of the most valuable aspects of the program was the opportunity to build international connections: we had the chance to meet Slovak and Czech university students and lecturers, with whom we exchanged professional experiences, discussed current challenges in tourism, and gained insight into each other’s educational and tourism perspectives.

The days we spent together provided us not only with professional knowledge, but also with meaningful personal experiences: new friendships, inspiring conversations, and unforgettable memories were created. We are proud to have represented our university in such an international and motivating environment.

We are grateful for the opportunity to be part of this journey, which reinforced our belief that tourism truly connects people and cultures.”
