The impact of our trip on their perspective on sustainability in business practices was truly a life-changing experience,\" said Leonard.<\/p><p>During 2019, Eli\u00e9cer Vargas, academic coordinator of the International Master's Degree in Sustainable Tourism, held meetings and visits with the UTRGV with the purpose of making this program possible, however, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it was not until 2022 that the program was implemented.<\/p><p>Currently, both universities hope that this program will continue to develop and that CATIE students will be able to travel to the UTRGV campus to exchange knowledge and practices in the same areas of study, which are of great relevance to the region.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7
