Sustainable Tourism Education
We offer short term courses to familiarize different stakeholders of tourism industry with basic concepts envisaged in Sustainable Tourism Development and help them to adopt sustainability in their work culture and business operations. We have designed and delivered customised modules to International Travel Agents, Tourism Institutions and Developmental Agencies in the last ten years. Our carefully designed courses help enterprises to follow sustainability guidelines set by Local governments and United Nations for different segments of the tourism industry like Hotel, Car rental companies, Resorts and Tour-operators.
In order to adhere with global standards of sustainability ,the tourism enterprises are supposed to be aware of the sustainable tourism Agenda set by United Nations to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.We provide guidance to select right SDGs for the enterprises and also design a long-term strategy for them to execute the same. Adhering to Sustainability standards in the Tourism industry goes a long way in business growth and branding and we assist our clients in taking advantage of their efforts made in achieving sustainability.
We organize courses for Tourism professionals and Institutions interested in contributing towards socio-economic and environmental welfare of communities. We also organize seminars and workshops on related subjects. Following short term courses are for getting an idea of our course structure and their contents.
