Welcome to our online training platform. With a combined 50 years of experience in travel and training – our mantra is that training shouldn’t be stuffy, but engaging, visual, practical and, above all, fun - we work hard to make it that way. 

Try it for yourself: take our introductory quiz Paradise ‘almost’ lost. 

We work with stakeholders across the travel industry – governments, tour operators, travel agents and travel associations - designing and delivering practical courses to bring sustainable tourism alive for everyone, from those making the big decisions, to those at the coalface. 

And we’re not just about online training! Find out how else we can work with you on our main site.

Leading the Way Tour Guide Training 

“The Travel Foundation designed this training for our members’ tour guides and leaders. Because it’s online it can reach the remotest corners of the world. In the end we believe it is all about creating better places and experiences for locals and holiday makers. Tour guides and leaders can use the inspiring knowledge straight away and put it into practice.”

Gerben Hardeman, Manager Responsible Travel & Tourism at ANVR
