The 4-day (Virtual) Travel Impact Challenge is an online, dynamic program designed to bridge cultural divides, increase engagement with the travel and tourism industry, and provide young people with a transformative, hands-on and collaborative way to meet and work with peers from around the world. In addition, by participating you will learn about future career possibilities in tourism, hospitality, and marketing directly from industry professionals.

Summary

The Impact Challenge will consist of interactive Zoom hangout calls with other participants, presentations and panel discussions from amazing speakers from the travel and tourism industry, and immersive brainstorming and collaborative work through an interactive virtual space. In addition, participants will have access for 3-months to a self-directed ‘Make an Impact’ course which teaches you about the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and how you can make an impact in your life and in your world.

The participants are on every time zone around the world. Therefore, the event has been designed with flexibility. Participants join at all hours between school, work, and other commitments – and some have so much fun that they stay on 24/7

Criteria

Travel Impact Challenge will select up to 100 youth (50 based in North America, 50 based worldwide). The program also seeks self motivated, diverse participants who bring to their work passion, energy and a desire to learn.
