SHIBUYA, Japan, Dec. 10, 2024 – TourAxis, the trailblazing company behind innovative travel brands like Expat Explore and Group Tour Shop, is expanding its footprint in the travel industry with the launch of TourCademy, an online educational platform designed to help travel enthusiasts become skilled professionals and pursue flexible, rewarding careers in the travel sector.
TourCademy offers a dynamic, hands-on approach to travel education, allowing participants to engage directly with real-world travelers, explore premier global destinations, and gain the skills necessary to lead tours professionally. The platform’s flagship offering is a 40-hour online Tour Leader course, paired with practical Destination Training (Bootcamp). Graduates who complete the program also benefit from a professional interview, ensuring they are fully prepared to manage and lead global tours.
This initiative responds to the growing demand for skilled travel professionals as the travel sector continues its impressive recovery. The global travel industry is forecasted to reach an economic impact of $11.1 trillion this year, surpassing pre-pandemic levels. Last year, the sector supported 330 million jobs, with projections predicting this number will rise to 449 million by 2034. As travel businesses like TourAxis expand, the need for qualified tour leaders to meet the needs of an international clientele has become even more urgent.
“We saw that the demand for group tours was outpacing our ability to find qualified tour leaders, and many travel enthusiasts didn’t realize that a career in the travel industry was not only possible but profitable,” says Carl Cronje, CEO and Co-founder of TourAxis. “With TourCademy, we’re offering high-quality training that will help passionate travelers turn their love for exploration into a sustainable career, and we’re empowering them to become the top-tier tour leaders that companies like TourAxis are eager to hire.”
TourCademy is set to be a game-changer for both the travel industry and those seeking to build a fulfilling career in this fast-growing sector. With its cutting-edge curriculum and direct pathway to employment, it provides a unique opportunity for those looking to combine their passion for travel with the chance to make a living while exploring the world.
