Education
Fair Tourism has more than 15 years experience in giving interactive workshops/guest lectures and developing tailor-made educational materials for primary and secondary education, vocational training institutes, as well as universities. We worked for numerous educational institutions, like NHTV in Breda, Inholland in Rotterdam and Haarlem, Saxion Universities and ROC Amsterdam. We work in The Netherlands and abroad.

This way, your students can be actively involved in case studies around the world, for example through an internship. A win-win situation for all stakeholders involved.
