The New Brunswick Community College in Canada has developed a two-year International Tourism program. Students study in English and French in Canada and spend a semester, in Merida, Mexico, taught by the Tecnológica Turística Total (TTT). By business contractual arrangements, TTT delivers the educational experience for the Canadian institutions. This presentation will address the strategic alliance behind the creation of the program and how accreditation and delivery takes place, as well as challenges and opportunities.
