A PhD Project is a crucial step in the academic career and constitutes a professional and personal challenge. During the PhD program in Tourism Management, I had the privilege of researching with the support of a multidisciplinary team, which contributed to the acquisition of sound knowledge at the theoretical and methodological levels. The contribution of extensive research resources and prestigious professors fully committed to guiding their students on the premise of continuous reflection, as well as encouraging rigor and innovation, is a distinctive feature of this PhD program. Participation in lectures and seminars provided an enriching exchange of ideas between the teaching staff and doctoral students, which was a key support to the development of my thesis. It was a real privilege to have been a PhD student in Tourism Management at ISCTE-IUL and the European University. At the conclusion of this stage, I started my career as a teacher in Higher Education.
