Need help organising school tourism trips?

Some students on our Auckland Experiences will get to do the famous Auckland Harbour Bridge Climb!

Tourism class trips are a great way to showcase the industry. It gives students a tangible experience, and a taste of what it might be like to work in tourism and travel as a career.

And of course, students love the chance to get out of the classroom and explore some of New Zealand’s highlights!

Yet there’s no denying that such trips require a huge amount of time, effort, and manpower to plan and organise. That’s where ITC can help. We use our expertise and industry contacts to build an educational, enjoyable trip for your students anywhere in New Zealand.

Meet the Study From Home student inspired by another ITC student!

Savannah (third from the right) and friends on a recent trip to the North Island as part of a tour.

Study From Home student and supermarket employee Savannah Larkin hopes to one day become a flight attendant (and we have no doubt she will achieve that goal!). But her story reminds us of another wonderful student, who was also working full time and dreaming of becoming a flight attendant – and is now doing just that!

In fact, that past student has inspired Savannah to follow in her footsteps (find out who below).

It’s so exciting to not just see our students succeed, but also to inspire others to do the same. So as you read Savannah’s story, think about whether you might be the next!

New opportunities arise for graduates as tourism industry evolves

New technology is creating new pathways and career opportunities for those in the travel and tourism industry.

Like any industry, tourism and travel will evolve with the times. Even Instagram, a simple photo sharing platform, has already had a huge impact on the way people travel by creating Insta-famous locations, and by making lesser-known destinations more well known.

Now that technology continues to evolve, it is having even more of an effect on not just how we travel – but how we can work in the travel and tourism industry.
