Become a Mentor at NTA Convention

students

Are you a travel, tourism, or hospitality industry professional interested in supporting students?

The Tourism Cares Experience the Industry Student Program is an opportunity for industry professional volunteers to serve as career mentors for travel, tourism, and hospitality students at the NTA Convention. You, as a tour operator, tour supplier, or destination management executive, can educate students about the convention and the business appointments process.

In addition, you can participate in roundtable discussions to help students explore different sectors of the tourism industry while learning more about potential career paths.

Help make this experience possible for the next group of Tourism Cares undergraduate or graduate scholarship recipients. If you are interested in volunteering your time to mentor a travel, tourism, or hospitality student at NTA or in some other capacity, please email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
