The Transformational Travel Council (TTC) carries momentum into the New Year and new decade—with the launch of its second Transformation Design Program: A Collaborative Study on Transformational Travel and its Impact. Through a rigorously crafted curriculum, the TTC, with the support of its emerging Ally community, is improving lives, communities at home and abroad, the ecosystem, and humanity through conscious and sustainable travel.

Since its inception in 2016, the TTC has launched the Ally Membership, the Transformation Design Program and the Herald Media Membership, and will soon unveil the newly minted Destination Level Program. “The Transformation Design Program seeks, at its heart, to equip inspired, engaged, and thoughtful travel professionals with the frameworks, tools, and knowledge to guide and empower travelers in their pursuit of personal transformation and positive global impact,” said Tanner Colton, the Onboarding, and Education & Training Program Manager for the TTC. “Introduced in the spring of 2020, the Transformation Design Program now boasts 126 alumni—an impressive cohort of dedicated and determined change agents who are leading the tourism industry toward A New Dawn In Travel.”

Recent graduates of the Transformation Design Program have been particularly impressed by the scope of the program. “The quality and depth of the content have been exceptional. There is so much to learn and understand and I have gained so many new ideas and tools to use for my business. I had no idea it would be this good! I love being part of the community and feeling like we are on a shared journey together,” said Jools Sampson, Founder and Owner of Reclaim Yourself Retreats.

The 2021 Transformation Design Program consists of a four-month cooperatively designed educational program for conscious travel professionals who are looking to collaborate, build relationships, share insights, and ultimately, grow their respective Transformational Travel practices.

The TTC is accepting 35 candidates from all segments of tourism to join the next cohort, launching March 15, 2021, and will accept applications until March 1, 2021.

The Program includes an online-based curriculum that utilizes webinars, forums, facilitated discussions, offline exercises, suggested readings, and on-going support from a fellow Design Mentor Companion. All materials and collaborations will be administered on a robust interactive platform. Content will be delivered by an experienced roster of alumni, tourism professionals, and expert special guest presenters.

“The world is in dire need of conscious, compassionate, and highly-skilled thought leaders to usher in a new dawn the next generation of travel,” said Colton. “The TTC is inviting such practitioners and innovators to apply and help bring about more ethical, empathetic, and ecologically sound ecological business models in travel and tourism globally.”
