ABOUT TRAVEL & TOURISM COLLEGE (TTC)
Travel and Tourism professionals from across the West and Southwest U.S. convene for one week each summer for an intensive, industry-leading curriculum of travel & tourism marketing, management, and leadership courses. This is designed as a 3-year certification program,
with returning students taking 2nd and 3rd year classes.
Travel & Tourism College instructors are university professors, industry thought leaders, trendsetters, and industry CEOs who bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the classroom. The schedule is packed from start to finish with classes, discussion groups and networking events. Upon successful completion of the 3-year program and a capstone project, graduates receive the designation of CERTIFIED TOURISM EXECUTIVE
(CTE).
TTA has developed a Re-Certification Program to ensure the longevity, integrity, and value of receiving the Certified Tourism Executive (CTE) certification. The Re-Certification Program ensures that Certified
Tourism Executives continue to remain at the forefront of industry trends and have the highest standard of industry education. For information on this program, go to: Re-Certification
