Alumni testimonials
Learning experiences that opened real opportunities
Many people ask me which institution I graduated from, and I can proudly say every time that it is IST, the International School of Tourism. They provided opportunities and taught me to have vision, to build a career, generate income, and create a reputation. They taught me to be a good person, to have leadership qualities, and to know how to give back to society. Moreover, they helped me see a clearer picture of my own future.
Tourism is like a gateway to the wider world, opening up freedom of thought and imagination. That’s why I chose IST. They turn dreams into reality. The IST family was my first step in gaining learning experiences, and it was the starting point of my successful career journey.
IST provided life-changing opportunities from the very first step of becoming part of this faculty. It shaped me and became an integral part of creating something unique—those life opportunities.
