Educational Travel: An Alternative Way to See the World

It used to be that museums had to bring international treasures to you. Educational travel makes it possible to bring you to the world’s treasures, complete with lectures, readings and hands on activities.

But when you think of “educational travel” it probably conjures images of college students hiking through Tibet or backpacking through Spain. But there’s more to educational travel than college study abroad programs. High school students, retirees and especially educators are taking advantage of this type of travel program for school credit, professional development or just for fun.

This guide will help you learn more about the world of educational travel and explore some of the available programs.
