OVERVIEW College Tourist is a community of student travelers empowering others to pursue their own travel adventures. College Tourist s platform inspires students to experience other cultures and embrace global diversity as they immerse themselves in the education that comes from travel. Through our global ambassador program our student teams participate in promotional events, content sharing and social media marketing on and off campus. Current college students create writing portfolios to share their travel stories and advice. Our student ambassadors have collectively traveled the globe providing articles including city guides, packing lists, study abroad stories, interviews and advice for fellow students.
WHY COLLEGE TOURIST? The college demographic is diverse and far reaching with over 17 million students enrolled in the US. Study abroad is a growing industry with the percentage of students studying abroad rising each year. Students who study abroad have established high GPA s and show an increased GPA upon returning from traveling making them intelligent ambassadors for the College Tourist message The value in traveling young is evident in the experiential learning that comes from meeting people from diverse cultures and lifestyles outside of your own. Whether on their home campus, at an international University or on a weekend jaunt across Europe, students find themselves embracing all that each destination has to offer.
