The Faculty of Business at UPEI Cairo Campus, hosted by the Universities of Canada in Egypt (UCE), welcomed the Egyptian Senator, Ms. Hayam Beniamin, to deliver a captivating talk on “Tourism Impact on the Egyptian Economy” to the senior business students.
This event exemplified UPEI Cairo Campus’ unwavering commitment to providing all its students with real-life experience, effectively bridging the gap between academia and diverse industries and equipping them with valuable industry insights.
The talk not only underscored the industry exposure that UPEI Cairo Campus offers its students but also provided valuable insights into the significance of tourism on the Egyptian economy. Additionally, it served as a catalyst for senior business students to engage with real industry cases and clients, thereby further developing their ideas and gaining hands-on experience.
