An international study tour provides a group of collage/university students, office staff, executives and professionals with the opportunity to travel overseas and gain new quality of educational and experience in a new environment. Study tours are arranged by different universities and are an excellent way for participants to gain an international perspective within their program.
Participants will travel with their professionals on a study tour that includes visits and guest lectures with overseas partner institutions, field trips, and social and cultural events of interest. This is an increasingly popular new trend in the global tourism industry.
According to scholars, the concept of a wide range of educational tourism, it has been changing the concept of tourism itself. Educational tourism is those people, including education and learning is their main purpose of this trip to carry out tourism activities. In other words, the main purpose of travel is to obtain knowledge and experience on certain topics and a different country, rather than travel itself. They may include multiple stops at multiple destinations, for different learning purposes.
