Jordi and Kristýna decided to join the Erasmus for Young
Entrepreneurs programme to achieve specific business goals. Jordi, as the Host Entrepreneur, aimed to grow his travel agency, which specializes in yoga and surf holidays. Kristýna,

ultimate ambition of starting and managing her own.
Throughout their participation in the EYE programme, a productive partnership formed,
leading to activities that significantly advanced their individual business objectives. Jordi was
instrumental in enhancing Kristýna's knowledge of travel agency operations, event planning,
and marketing. Through regular discussions and strategic sessions, Jordi helped Kristýna refine
and improve key elements of her business plans. Conversely, Kristýna contributed by
introducing new product ideas, such as young and active holiday packages, and assisting in
organizing a significant yoga retreat for pregnant women
Looking ahead, the entrepreneurs see potential for ongoing collaboration in various areas,
leveraging their combined expertise in travel, event coordination, and business growth. The
EYE programme has been pivotal in developing their skills. As a Host Entrepreneur, Jordi
benefited from fresh, innovative perspectives that helped him fine-tune his business
strategies. For Kristýna, the hands-on experience in travel agency management and event
planning has rounded out her entrepreneurial skill set.
Additionally, the programme enabled them to build a broad and diverse network of contacts,
including yoga instructors, accommodation providers, transfer services, and surf schools.
These relationships, spanning different regions, offer opportunities for future partnerships and
knowledge exchange. Kristýna's involvement with a prominent tour operator in the Czech
Republic, along with Jordi's specialization in niche holidays, underscores the mutual benefits of
their continued collaboration. The Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs programme has
significantly boosted their business prospects, facilitating the implementation of innovative
ideas and contributing to their personal and professional growth.
