Our standard workshop series covers foundational AI skills for general tourism audiences, marketing professionals, guest services teams, operations managers across different tourism businesses. Custom workshops are tailored to specific contexts: conference themes, specialized industry segments (ecotourism, Indigenous tourism, adventure tourism), unique organizational challenges (grant writing, small teams, rural connectivity), or regional considerations (Northern destinations, remote operations). Custom workshops adapt content, examples, pace, and depth to your specific audience rather than general tourism professionals.
Ideal lead time is 60-90 days for maximum customization including audience research, content adaptation, and pre-workshop preparation. However, we’ve successfully delivered quality custom workshops with less than 30 days notice when timeline urgency required it. Contact us to discuss your specific timeline and we’ll determine what’s possible for your situation.
While our core expertise is tourism and hospitality, we’ve successfully delivered custom training to adjacent industries including economic development, small business support, and community organizations. Our parent brand, CIPR Communications is a Digital PR and Marketing agency, so we have 15 years experience working with SME’s from all industries. If your audience includes tourism components or serves tourism businesses, we can likely help. Contact us to discuss your specific audience and we’ll determine if we’re the right fit.
Absolutely. We deliver engaging virtual custom workshops via Zoom or your preferred video platform. Interactive elements, live demonstrations, and hands-on exercises adapt well to virtual formats. Many organizations choose virtual delivery for distributed teams, budget considerations, or when scheduling in-person events isn’t feasible.
