The year 2025 brought a lot of detailed insights and information to participants, especially in Asia and Africa, thanks to the series of Online Lectures about the importance and application of Meaningful Tourism in Africa and Asia. The Certified MTC trainer in South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Cameroon and Zimbabwe in Africa, and in Northeast and North India and in Nepal in South Asia provided detailed information on how Meaningful Tourism is a powerful tool to improve tourism in their respective countries and beyond. They were supported by regional experts in most cases, highlighting practical experiences and Best Practice examples.
The eight destination-specific Online Lectures were complemented by two sets of three additional lectures each for Africa and South Asia respectively. With the kind support and sponsorship of the Tourism Institute, almost 1,000 registrations could be achieved. The Online Lectures were free of charge and can now be downloaded at https://institutetourism.com/mt-lectures/
Participants who would like to receive a Certification of Participation can have the document signed by both the leaders of the Tourism Institute and MTC, upon request, for a small administrative fee of 30 USD.
