The Vidanta Foundation has announced that its new event, the Vidanta Forum, will take place from May 16 - 19 at The Grand Vidanta Convention Center in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico.
According to a Vidanta Foundation news release, the intent of the event is to inspire a dialogue between opinion leaders and international figures from different industries and establish the best practices in the tourism industry.
The Vidanta Forum will welcome roughly 450 attendees, including international and national experts, students, academics, business people, intellectuals and civil society organizations.
The Vidanta Forum is created through the dialogue and analysis of experts and with the support of institutional allies – The College of Mexico, the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and the Center for Research and Teaching in Economics (CIDE).
After the event’s closure, the institutional organizations will prepare a document that will gather the most interesting proposals and political recommendations generated in the event.
