Travel & Tourism Student Convention
Ever wondered what it takes to manage one of the world’s most visited tourist destinations? At our annual Travel & Tourism Student Convention, Disney speakers lift the curtain on the operations behind Disneyland® Paris and share insights your students can apply directly to their studies.
The convention provides curriculum-linked case studies on customer service, marketing and career pathways in the travel and tourism sector. Students will gain a valuable understanding of key industry trends, with the chance to ask questions and discuss topics with leading professionals.
After the convention, students head into the parks to see Disney’s unique customer experience in practice. Assignments encourage them to view the resort through a critical lens, analysing operations, marketing strategies and visitor management.
Meet last year's speakers
Included in the convention package is a 2-day hopper pass for both Disney® Parks so that students can collect the evidence required to complete their business assignments.
The learning doesn't stop when your trip is over! We've teamed up with Travel & Tourism tutor Craig Busby to offer an exclusive 10-week Marketing Module to teach your students back at college, which uses their experience at Disneyland® Paris to contextualise their studies.
Read the key takeaways from the last Travel & Tourism Student Convention and why you want to bring your students.
