Last year, another group of Business students participated in the same simulation from February 5-10, 2017. It was another great chance for our students to learn how to develop their entrepreneurial, collaboration and communication skills by engaging in a virtual, internet-based simulation game that models the management of a hotel business. Our students managed,   with their teams, to develop different hotel strategies, prepare a trade fair, analyze the competition, respond to a virtual hotel crisis, generate press releases, develop promotional and advertising material using social media and making critical financial decisions. Our students managed to maintainthe excellent MIU image. Sara Elkashef team–which consisted of foreign students- won  medal for Creativity.   Sara’s team was also selected as the most favored team by coaches.
