What is a study tour?
• Study tours are designed to be both fun and educational. Our groups enjoy the local cuisine, socialise, and make use of the local recreational and cultural resources of the areas that we visit. However, study tours are NOT party trips.
• A study tour is a travel experience with specific learning goals. The learning outcomes of each study tour vary, but are always provided in the course outline that is distributed to each student. Study tours emphasize experiential learning and offer both group and self-directed activities that enable students to explore new territories, cultures, people and business models.
• Traveling with one of our groups
No worries or hassles about where to stay, how to get there, or even checking in!
The itineraries are designed to maximise your overall experience.
