Transforming Student Travel calls for a paradigm shift in the student tour industry: educators collaborating to create a student-centered, inquiry-based tour. Marcel Proust said, “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.” This resource guide explores ways educators can encourage students not only to see with “new eyes,” but also to understand how they know.

"Aloha Faye! The book is here. I started reading and it is super. I can't wait to take my students to DC and New York. I am going to try and apply your teachings to Pearl Harbor, where I'll have students as well as adults in early December, 75th anniversary. This is really exciting and thank you so much for showing how to make a tour interesting, not only for the passengers but also for the TD." (Uta Howard, Tour Director)
"In 'Transforming Student Travel,' Brenner proposes thought provoking ideas to help educators and leaders plan life-changing educational experiences for students through the wonderful world of travel." (Elly DeVries, publisher, Student Group Tour magazine and studentgrouptour.com)
The techniques expressed in the book parallel many of the concepts in the International Tour Management Institute training but in a different language. The more diverse ways we learn to communicate and share knowledge through critical thinking and dialog with others, the better we are able to understand other’s perspective and viewpoints of the world. A teacher or tour guide that gets people to question and think about what they see, hear, smell or touch, is truly a master of their art. Helping people see the world through different eyes, is part of the journey to a more peaceful planet. (Ted Bravos, president, CEO, and co-founder, International Tour Management Institute)
Transforming Student Travel thoughtfully brings together educational theory and practical tips in an easily readable format. Brenner's approach is sure to deepen student learning on any trip. Extremely useful for any tour guide or teacher. If you care about students getting the most out of their travel experience, this book is for you! (Tracy S. Michaud Stutzman, PhD, Tourism and Hospitality Degree Program, University of Southern Maine)
