To do this, several classes were held for a week:

For this, I have discussed briefly how you think it will be the tourism market in 2020. How will individuals be part of this market (who are now 20 years) and how will it adapt tourism products to the characteristics of this market .

In the last part of the paper, I have also tried to how Web 3.0 (on which now is working at the level of developer, but not yet at the level of end user [or at least not a general level of end user] ) we will offer new opportunities to promote the services of rural tourism and rural destinations.
