Tourism Internships in Beijing

One of the Institute for Global Studies' favorite Travel Consultancy internship placements took place in Panama City, Panama, at a travel agency. The student sent back pictures of the Panama Canal that became screenshots for IGS computers. A second fun placement involved lining up a student with the visitor's bureau in Wellington, New Zealand. The intern had the chance to visit many of the locations she recommended to visitors and came away from the internship with more local knowledge than many who have spent a lifetime in the city. More than most industries IGS works with, travel agencies and visitor centers know how to provide fast-paced, meaningful work. They are experts in handling people, and this shows in the way they lay out the day for their interns. After a week or two, you may find yourself handling the same job duties as the supervisor. Interacting with the general public develops communication skills and a knack for handling difficult personalities. It’s a boot camp for what may await you in the workforce and you will enter with a leg up on those who have yet to navigate the challenges of people-pleasing.
