Within the framework of the eleventh edition of the International Tourism Fair of Venezuela (Fitven) 2018, the “Tourism and Digital Transformation” Hackathon will be held, an event that will be attended by 80 young professionals from all over the country.
The announcement was made this Monday by the Minister for Tourism, Stella Lugo, at a press conference from the Bolívar Park, at the Generalissimo Francisco de Miranda Air Base, in Caracas, where will take place this event, which will open its doors on Thursday, November 22nd until Sunday 25.
