First practical assignment 1 One sunny August day Sam the Student walked in the
doors of Leppävaara campus. He was about to starthis studies in tourism in Laurea.
He stood in the lobby, looked around and wonderedwhere he should go. He was lost. His head wasspinning and he felt ill.
So he went outside to get some fresh air and to think. And then he saw a QR code in the front door. He
scanned it and it told him to go to one place wherehe find another QR code to show him to anotherplace.

“People are always talking, why should we care about that. There will always be negative feedback and if someone decides not to visit us based on that, then they maybe are the wrong customers for us.”
