GSM 545M Travel Course: Chile
Chile is one of South America's most stable and prosperous nations -- and one of its most beautiful. Stretching more than 2600 miles from Peru to Patagonia, and nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Mountains, the country is known for its natural beauty; economic ingenuity; history of conquest, dictatorship, and now strong democracy; and for its friendly people. Central Chile (Chile Central), home to a majority of the population, includes the three largest metropolitan areas-Santiago, Valparaiso, and Concepcion, and it is this region that we will visit. In addition to growing its native companies and multinationals, Chile is the innovation and entrepreneurship hub of Latin America. In this course, we will build an understanding of Chile's economy, its entrepreneurial ecosystem, the role of Chilean women in growing the economy, and the position of small nations like Chile within a global landscape more generally. The three industry sectors that we will focus on are: wine (agricultural products), tourism, and financial services. Come join us to experience this remarkable country. Travel dates are March 2-March 13. Meeting dates are Feb 18th and Feb 19th from 10am-2:30 pm and April 5th from 5pm-6:30 pm.
