Between Ponta Delgada and Horta, we have two colleagues to take the Sailor-Machinist course, which began in February and will extend until May, at the Azores Sea School, in Horta, Faial Island.

Training Land Experiences Team

In recent days, in Ponta Delgada, our land guides have started the face-to-face component of a course dedicated to interpretation in tourism. A technique to maximize the impact of our experiences on all who choose us, but not least, of valuing the material and intangible heritage of the Azores. After the face-to-face phase, it follows a phase of reflection and creation of new ideas for the experiences we offer.

A high financial investment, which is added to the personal commitment of all participants, but which proves futurism’s commitment and effort in training employees for continuous differentiation and training in our areas of action.
