Description

Wine tourism of tomorrow: a collective approach in 4.0 With the advent of COVID, virtual platforms are more important than ever, and will continue to thrive as a new form of customer connection even after the pandemic has ended. The global tourism industry was especially negatively impacted by the pandemic, including wine tourism.
