Dania Academy joins TourNord!

We are happy to announce that Dania Academy have joined as a partner at TourNord. Dania Academy, with 8 campuses across Denmark, has a proud history of educating students within service, hospitality and tourism management.

Actively involved in research projects, Dania Academy are currently researching superhost motivations in AirBnB host communities, and volunteerism and value in hospitality organizations.

Henrik Pahus, Senior Project Manager R&D, expressed his excitement about joining the network:

“At Dania, we are strongly committed to working internationally within all fields connected to Research and Development. In that capacity, TourNord is the perfect network for us to participate in in regards to hospitality research. We expect, that the TourNord network will help us expand future cooperation between the parties involved, while at the same time help us to foster closer bonds with researchers within the field of hospitality in the partner countries.
Our primary motivation for participating is to gain new partners within R&D in the Nordic countries, and we look forward to the many new projects that TourNord will hopefully yield”
