The Social Impact of Travel on Students

Did you know that according to Student & Youth Travel Association (SYTA) research, students who are granted the opportunity to travel have an increased desire to attend college?

And that’s not the only positive outcome you could look forward to by embarking on an unforgettable trip.

The social impact is vast, with educators reporting students displaying increased tolerance of other cultures and ethnicities, more intellectual curiosity, better grades and an increased willingness to learn. Use these findings to gain support for your next adventure:

  • 45% of educators claim student travel has been significantly more effective compared to classroom instruction.
