Developing strong leaders has never been more important to the tourism industry in particular.
“Workforce development and education has always been an important part of destination management, but as we rebuild our workforce and respond to industry-wide staffing shortages it is even increasingly so.”
Al Hutchinson, CEO Visit Baltimore & Destinations International Chair“The Tourism Academy is important as the success of retaining and attracting diverse talent to this industry is directly correlated to the level of involvement in outreach, education and opportunities.”
Elliott Ferguson, CEO Destination DC“A constant thing that I found is that no matter where you are or what the situation is, people have the capacity and ability to make it better or worst. By focusing on developing the people involved in the industry, the Tourism Academy is setting up a strong foundation that will allow the industry to build reliable and knowledgeable professionals capable of making every travel experience unforgettable. ”
Juan Alberto Villareal, Ed.D.Yes! This program is entirely virtual. You'll be given access to new modules on a regular basis. Your coaching session for the week will be held via Zoom.
The coursework is self-paced, but generally you should expect to spend about 2-3 hours each week on the program. Your course will take about an hour to complete, your coaching session is an hour each week and any online discussions will comprise the remaining 30 minutes.
