Tourism Ambassador Training

Build relevance. Align your stakeholders. Create more positive visitor experiences.

Empower, upskill and engage your front-line workforce.

Boost reaffirming social impressions while reducing your convention and visitor acquisition costs.

Gain community support for a common goal – your destination marketing mission!

Your Destination. Your Training.

We take the time to understand your community, your needs, desired outcomes and challenges. 

Each and every program we create is designed to meet your specific needs. Once our instructional designers finish their work, the course is yours to share, maintain with ease and grow with your destination.

We are tourism professionals, instructional designers and business psychologists, working together to create courses that you, your stakeholders and community members can be proud of.

It is your course, afterall. 

Education With Empathy™

We are a team of lifelong learners. We believe in effective, efficient education. That means each piece of content, every lesson, module, course and masterclass is there to produce a desired outcome. By taking one of our courses, you’ll be able to do something that you weren’t able to do before. This is a transformation.

We employ the latest in science, technology and adult learning data to ensure that students are active participants in their learning experience. We focus on engagement.

Your stakeholders are diverse; they work a variety of schedules and may be far from your office. That shouldn’t exclude them from being part of your mission. Training when, where and how it’s needed is accessibility

This is why we developed the TEA Education Model that every program we deliver must meet.
