Springboard UK's Travel and Tourism Programme is a member of the Global Travel and Tourism Partnership (GTTP)

The mission of the GTTP is to develop students' appreciation of this dynamic industry, both as consumers and as potential employees, and to broaden their understanding of tourism's cultural implications and its economic impact on their communities and around the world.

It achieves this mission through national Travel and Tourism Programmes (TTPs), which offer a unique educational experience for secondary school students at a time when they, their parents and teachers are making decisions about career choices.

This unique education-business collaboration is endorsed by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), the global business leaders forum for Travel and Tourism. Its members are chief executives from all sectors of the Travel and Tourism Industry, including accommodation, catering, cruises, entertainment, recreation, transportation and travel-related services. The GTTP and the WTTC work together to help link tourism awareness education to the development to national tourism strategies.
