International travel opportunities
Every year, Tourism and Hospitality students have the opportunity to participate in a travel class as part of the TAH education. Many years students have interned at AAA Northern New England to help plan and execute these travel classes. (A number of interns were then hired by AAA!) Check out some of the travel classes we have completed in the last 5 years.
Iceland
Students went to Iceland to study how nature and humans (tourism) change the landscape. The focus of this study was to learn how to create sustainable tourism plans for future development. Students also compared to hospitality practices between the USA and Iceland.
Miami & Cuba
One trip to Cuba involved students living on a schooner and studying maritime tourism, creating sustainable tourism development plans. Another trip, students studied Cuban cultural influences in Miami’s Little Havana, along with best practices in hospitality.
Bermuda
Tourism and Hospitality students studied service and operating efficiency while onboard Royal Caribbean’s Anthem of the Seas. Students created excursions while in Bermuda for cruise ship passengers.
