Workshop Case
Sergio Moreno Gil and Tatiana David Negre conducted a workshop at the International Conference on Marketing and Technologies, ICMarkTech’21, focused on the EMOTUR Lab. This workshop included numerous presentations related to the different neuromarketing techniques used in the laboratory, as well as a practical explanation of the FaceCoding technique, a tool for analyzing facial expressions and emotions.
Caso práctico de África: 2025
We integrate neurotourism content into various training programs, enriching them with added value and innovation. A notable example is the course “Tourism and Women in Africa”, delivered by the UNESCO Chair in Tourism and Sustainable Economic Development, the TiDES Institute, and the EMOTUR Lab, in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
Across four successful editions (2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025), we have trained more than 50 African women from 15 countries, empowering them through knowledge, leadership, and sustainable tourism practices.
This ongoing initiative reflects our commitment to inclusive education, gender equity, and the transformative power of neurotourism in global contexts.
