CTHRC Takes Part in Global Travel & Tourism Partnership Meeting

September 01 2009

From July 26 to 29, 2009, CTHRC attended a meeting of the Global Travel & Tourism Partnership (GTTP) programs in Brussels, Belgium. The Council’s Canadian Academy of Travel and Tourism is a member of the GTTP. Country directors from Ireland, the UK, Jamaica, South Africa, Hungary, Russia, Kenya, and Brazil were also present, providing an opportunity to learn about programs around the globe and the strategies they use to increase their participation in GTTP programming. This was also a chance to reflect on current methods of teacher training and student engagement, leading to a renewed focus on engaging students to participate in GTTP programs and on the development of online training content for new tourism teachers.
