GI is currently working with organizations focused on sustainability and regenerative agriculture, with a focus on the Amazon. GI provides research and administrative assistance.
Members of the GI team are mentoring former students who participated in earlier GI projects, like the GTTP, to help them develop satisfying career paths.
One popular on-line course developed by GI is “Introduction to Travel & Tourism: Passport to the World,” which was available on the FutureLearn.com platform. In 2022 the course was moved to a proprietary GTTP platform for participating schools.
Who is this course for?
The course is for students who want to have an overview of the Travel & Tourism business, either for choosing a career or to use it as a supplement to their current professional studies. Passport is geographically neutral but it strongly builds on the local experiences of learners. It is particularly useful for those students who are keen to share their own views and experiences and are open to discussions with other fellow participants.
What subjects are covered on the course?
Passport has four modules that are covered in 16 on-line sessions, supplemented by activities:
