We understand how adventure travel works, and we speak the language of suppliers and buyers facing business challenges. We can help you raise the standards for best practices—in sustainability, health and safety, product development, marketing, and more—in your destination through expert-led trainings targeted specifically at your needs. ATTA’s team and community are full of people who have worked in destination marketing and been guides, tour buyers, and suppliers. We are well-connected with industry-leading safety and business experts across the globe, and we’ll assemble a savvy team to help you achieve your goals.
We encourage our destination partners to conduct in-person trainings whenever possible. Our experience proves that in-person programming is a highly successful way to teach new skills and implement changes with lasting impact.
Virtual courses are ATTA’s most flexible education format. Using the same source content as in-person courses, virtual programs allow you to offer our educational programs at scale.
We can combine education formats to fit the needs of your destination, your timeline and goals, the scale of your audience, and the resources you have available.
Our self-paced online courses enable you to offer training in best practices to large groups of suppliers allowing them to go through the course at their conveniece l. Our programs are led by trusted advisors and experts and dive deep on topics including risk management, improving sustainability practices, creating self-guided itineraries, guide training, business management, and more.
We also can implement capacity-building and technical assistance programs with our education content as the foundational layer. Our team of experts support tour operators and guides in different parts of the world to implement sustainability and safety practices with innovative methodologies.
Tailored content for a forward-thinking community of adventure tourism operators allows participants to dream about the future, design cutting-edge and sustainable product offerings, and consider innovative ways to work with international trade partners.
