Hello! I'm Viola Horváth, an energetic Ph.D. Candidate at Corvinus University of Budapest, who was recently delving into the intersection of community and urban development with a special focus on youth participation at the University of California, Irvine. Beyond my academic pursuits, I'm the proud founder and leader of "protégé.," a non-profit mentoring program designed to connect tourism students with the wisdom and insights of amazing professionals in tourism and hospitality. This initiative is a testament to my belief in the power of mentorship and my commitment to shaping a future where the tourism industry thrives on the contributions and innovations of its youngest members.As I navigate the confluence of urban development, tourism marketing, and mentorship, my aim is to foster a community where new ideas flourish, and every story finds its place. Whether through cutting-edge research or hands-on learning, I'm dedicated to empowering the next generation of leaders in tourism.Let's explore the future of tourism together. Interested in joining the conversation? I'd love to connect with you!
