Teaching Tourism - Multiple Intelligences Style
I have not spoken to the instructor, Leslie Robinson, at the Tourism Train the Trainer Institute at the University of Victoria, Victoria, Canada but I like her approach. It would seem inevtitably to lead to open-mindedness about Inclusive Tourism:
We teach tourism differentlyWe use simulations and experiential learning to engage participants. We keep them doing, thinking, feeling, smelling, tasting, and hearing tourism while still in the classroom.
Our curriculum activates sound learning theory and national occupational standards stimulating learning while having fun…all in easy to use formats… at reasonable rates…
Energize your classes!
