Tourism Internships in Phuket

Institute for Global Studies rocks when it comes to ecotourism placements. IGS works with the leading kayak tour company in Thailand. It has placed students with a submarine tour company in Hawaii. In Sydney, Australia, an IGS student went into the wine country as an assistant guide on daily tours. In Spain, IGS sent marketing students to work for a high-end food tour company. IGS students have hiked the Annapurna Trail in Nepal, taking photos and blogging for a trekking company. In Cancun, Mexico, a student promoted whale shark tours and accompanied clients on the boat. You, too, could discover where your passions lie with an IGS Ecotourism internship. Your placement in a beautiful destination is a venue for exploring your passion while learning the business side of things. Marketing trips are an integral component of the internship. Hosts may use your knowledge of social media to reach out to possible clients. Connecting with local hotels to promote the company is another essential duty.
