Planning an alumni tour?
Exclusive Experiences for Your Alumni Base
Engage even the most well-travelled alumni with original itineraries that offer interactive, behind-the-scenes experiences in destinations that are on or off the beaten path. FTI can help you create a travel program that resonates with your audience. We offer a wide range of historical, cultural & educational options around the globe, all of which are personalized to meet the expectations of your alumni group. Participants can engage with experts for continuing studies in a specific field or take a broader survey of a region by sampling a avariety of cultural experiences.
If you can imagine it, we can make it happen.
Attract Young Alums with Globally-Minded Trips
Universities often tell us that they want to keep their recent grads involved but have trouble recruiting them for alumni trips. Recent grads who have experienced study abroad already have the travel bug but may not have the discretionary income to participate in your typical, high-end alumni trip. Consider offering a graduation trip to unite the class in a farewell adventure before they start their professional careers.
Keep costs down and attract more participants by offering alternative accommodations (like staying in a tented camp in the African bush or sleeping in hammocks in a rainforest in Central America) or experiences that are unexpected (take a hike instead of a bus). You may even choose to incorporate service projects, where alums can practice their skills & give back to the global community. Take a look at our "Volunteer" section for ideas to expand your program offerings & attract a new alumni segment.
Custom Itinerary Options
Whether you have your own ideas or need some inspiration, FTI is here to help get your alumni tour off the ground. A travel advisor will partner with you to create a custom package that can include: group flights, guided experiences, accommodations, transfers, coach/rail, meals & travel insurance. Let us know if you need help brainstorming activities!
Our custom itineraries provide a blend of education, exploration, and unforgettable experiences.
Explore fascinating museums, iconic landmarks, and historical sites. See the beauty of natural wonders and engage in meaningful experiences through service-learning or volunteer activities, connecting with local communities. Immerse your students in local culture by securing tickets to exciting events, whether it's cheering at sports matches or enjoying live music.
