Tourism Pathways Training
Led by the Media Arts Institute, the Pathways Project is a coalition of leading travel industry organizations aiming to support initiatives that broaden access to career paths in travel that lack diversity, from tour guiding and travel directing to entrepreneurship.
Our "Real World" Training programs provide Tourism and Travel organizations with a sustainable method of recruiting and training underrepresented individuals of color.
​
Our Online and Live Immersive Training programs prepare students to be successful and creative Tour Guides, Tour Directors and Tourism Entrepreneurs.
