Welcome to Tourism Teacher, the leading educational platform for learning about the travel and tourism industry from both a practical and academic perspective. Tourism Teacher has become the number one resource for travel and tourism students and teachers, offering accessible explanations, high-quality educational content, teaching resources, industry insight and real-world examples to support learning at all levels.
The website is designed for anyone who wants to better understand the global travel and tourism industry. Whether you are a student studying travel and tourism, a teacher looking for reliable resources, or someone embarking on or developing a career in the sector, Tourism Teacher provides practical guidance, expert knowledge and clear explanations to help you move forward with confidence.
Tourism Teacher was developed by me, Dr Hayley Stainton. I launched the website in 2020 after identifying a clear gap in the market for high-quality online travel and tourism education content. Since then, the platform has grown into a trusted resource used by learners, educators and industry professionals around the world.
My expertise is grounded in almost two decades of experience in travel and tourism education. I hold a PhD in tourism and have worked as a Senior University Lecturer, international school leader, examiner, researcher, author and mentor. I have delivered a TEDx talk, written books and academic publications, and have taught, trained, coached and mentored thousands of people across different areas of the travel and tourism industry.
At its core, Tourism Teacher exists to make travel and tourism education more accessible, informed and sustainable. By sharing accurate knowledge, practical guidance and academic insight, the website helps people better understand the opportunities, challenges and responsibilities within one of the world’s most important global industries.
Thank you for visiting Tourism Teacher. Please take a look around, explore the resources and I hope you find the website useful.
