Testimonial

This was my second degree at GBSB Global, having completed a Bachelor’s in International Business. My growing interest in the tourism sector led me to pursue a Master’s in Tourism and Hospitality Management, specifically in Barcelona – the ideal location, as a global tourism hub. I had the opportunity to attend a valuable career fair, which further motivated me to pursue professional opportunities locally instead of moving back home. I truly love this city and am excited about launching my career in Spain’s dynamic tourism industry.
