FIJI – Abroad Opportunity! – WINTER 2015

Would you like to escape the brutal winter of Illinois and travel to a warm island in the South Pacific during January?
 
If so, consider heading to Fiji for a Wintermester (January 3-18, 2015) Study Abroad trip!
 
During this 2-week faculty-led course, you will explore ways that tourism is used for economic development in a developing economy. This experiential trip focuses on learning through guided action, where you’ll spend 70% of your time visiting Fiji’s primary tourism attractions, including beaches, reefs, and resorts under guidance of knowledgeable field professionals. You’ll do a day of river kayaking, and even experience a home stay and take part in cultural ceremonies in a local village!
 
For more information and to apply for the program (RST 199 FW: International Tourism and Development, FIJI), please visit:
 
 
A flyer about the trip is also attached.
 
The application deadline is September 15, 2014, so you’ll want to act soon!

P.S. If the Fiji trip does not suit your schedule, or you are wishing for a longer Study Abroad experience, consider heading to New Zealand to experience and study adventure tourism in the Summer 2015 (May 21 – June 13). This trip will be offered through the College of Applied Health Sciences and the Study Abroad Office. More details will be forthcoming!
