Daniel Spolaor, partner and CEO of the personalized training company for organizations and professionals Koru and former Human Resources director at Ambev, points out that corporate tourism plays a key role in this new scenario: “Corporate tourism is essential for people to be together at important times, such as conventions and planning, which are part of the corporate rite and turned hard after pandemic.”
