Manic Monday | Life-Long Learning

For me, September always feels like a new year and this also means back to school for many making it the perfect time for industry workshops. "Life-Long Learning" is not only a great phrase but more importantly a reminder to us all that now, more than ever, each of us need to continue to keep up with rapidly changing trends, information and technology.

While it is never easy to find the time to remove yourself from your day to day work and focus on training, it is critical that each of us in the tourism industry ensures we take the necessary steps to stay and remain current.

There are a number of workshops taking place this fall and into the new year and registration is open for several of them. Please take the time to look for programs taking place in your area of the region and feel free to contact Ellen Walker-Matthews or Mike Overend in our Destination Development team at industry@totabc.com for more information.
