The Tourism Laboratory is tailored to meet the needs of
the participating communities. To best shape the program to each
group, participants are asked to submit in depth information about
their community two months before commencing the Laboratory
experience.
A typical day at the Lab begins with a classroom discussion led
by a Subject Matter Expert. Sessions are followed by field-learning
experiences which balance tourism planning theory and practical
application.
Depending on the topics to be addressed, typical afternoons at
the Lab will reiterate the structure of the morning. At the end of
each day, the entire group will have the opportunity to debrief and
discuss the topics learned over dinner.
This will provide civic leaders from a community with the
necessary knowledge and expertise to achieve sustainable and
demonstrable results in their communities. The structure of the
Laboratory allows participants plenty of time to work closely with
the experts. |
