こんにちは！Global Leader Tours （以下GLT）です。

私たちは、世界で活躍する様々な人たちと一緒にスタディーツアーの企画・運営を行っています。

​新たに大学に入学された皆さんの中には

・大学生活を通して成長したい！

・人の夢を見つける応援がしたい！

・コロナが収まれば海外に行きたい！

・世界で活躍している人たちから多くのことを学びたい！

​そんなことを考えている方はいませんか！？

GLT ではそんなあなたの想いを叶えることが出来ます！！

普通の大学生活では味わえない、成長と出会いがあなたを待っています！！

​そもそもスタディーツアーとは？？

そもそも、スタディーツアーとは

留学や旅とは違い、アカデミックや娯楽を目的として海外に行くのではなく、

テーマを持って何かを学ぶことを目的に海外に渡航するツアーのことです。

GLTでは、未来を切り拓くリーダーを輩出することをコンセプトにこれまでに 7か国以上の国でスタディーツアーを開催してきました!

先進的な教育や幸福度が高いことで有名な北欧デンマーク

そんな、世界一幸福な国デンマークで

「持続可能な社会を探求する」ことをテーマに先進的な

教育現場や国会議事堂を訪問します。

施設訪問を通して、教育の在り方や社会の在り方を考え、

自分の在り方や未来にも向き合うツアーです。

​カンボジアツアー 「国際協力を人生の選択肢とする人を増やす」 というテーマのもと 「国際協力を仕事にしたいけど、どうすれば出来るか 分からない」そんな参加者が、 国際協力を実際に現地で行う方と対話し 自分の将来を考えるツアーです。 訪問例 独立行政法人 国際協力機構（JICA） 　　　独立行政法人 日本貿易振興機構（JETRO） 　NPO法人 かものはしプロジェクト など

​ルワンダツアー カンボジアツアーと同じく 「国際協力を人生の選択肢とする人を増やす」 という想いのもと「国際協力を行いたいけど、 どのように続けていけばいいかわからない」 そんな参加者が、現地を見て、 国際協力を仕事にする方々と対話し 国際協力の現場に足を運ぶことで 自分の将来を考えるツアーです。 訪問例 ウムチョイーザ学園 ルワンダノオト クルクメール

「行っただけでは終わらせない」

GLTではただ海外に行くだけでなく、渡航前後に1か月ずつの研修期間を設けるなど、

学びの充実や、本当に参加者の方々が未来を切り拓くリーダーになれるサポートを行っています。

そんな、参加者の人生や学びと本気で向き合うツアーを一緒に作りませんか？

自己分析や学びの整理など 様々な コンテンツを通して 1人1人が 未来を切り拓くリーダー と なれるよう ​サポートを行います。

参加者が帰国後に作成した ツアーでの学びを 発信するための冊子。 ​実際にクラウドファンディングを 行い作成しました。

研修終了後の報告会の様子 100名以上の方が集まり 参加者の学びや気付きに ​耳を傾けます。

スタディーツアーの企画・運営

GLTでは、これまでに7か国以上の国で

スタディーツアーを開催してきました。

留学や旅行ではなく、自分の人生や将来を

見直すための旅を私たちは企画しています。

GLTのメンバーには、そのツアーの企画や

運営をお任せしています。

ツアーのテーマを考え、実際に現地で

案内してくれる人を探し、参加者を募集する。

実際に旅行会社の方々が日々従事されている

様な業務に皆さんには関わってもらいます！

GLTでは、ツアーの魅力発信や、仲間集めの

ために定期的にイベントを開催しています。

数人単位での小規模なものから、100人規模の大イベントまでオンライン/オフライン関係

なく数々のイベントを企画・運営します。

活動を通して、人が思わず惹かれるアイデアの作り方、参加者が来てよかった！と言って

くれるようなイベントの設計方法まで多角的に学んでいきます。

広報・SNSマーケティング

どれだけいいものを作っても、それを多くの人に

知ってもらわなければ意味がありません。

だからこそ、GLTではSNSを通した発信や

SNSマーケティングにも注力しています。

実際に、自分たちの力だけでなく、大阪の

SNSマーケティングの会社と共催でイベントや

勉強会を予定しているなど、学びにも力を入れています。

ツアー参加者のサポートや面談

GLTでは、ツアー参加者が自分のなりたい姿や夢を

見つけられるよう、コーチングや面談など、

様々な形で参加者の方々と向き合っています。

自分の成長だけでなく、人の成長に携われるのもGLTの活動の醍醐味の1つです！！

GLTでの活動を通して得られるもの

普通の大学生活では 得られない圧倒的成長

GLTで皆さんに携わってもらう活動は、

どれも実際にツアー会社の方々が日々従事

されているような業務です。もちろん、責任も伴います が、その分他の企業インターン

などでは、携われない様な活動にまで

携わっていただきます。

活動がツアーの企画・運営・SNS広報・

参加者のコーチングなど多岐にわたるから

こそ、得られるスキルも多様でどれも

これからの社会で求められるような汎用的

だからこそ、普通の大学生活では得られない圧倒的な成長ができます！！

苦楽を共にした一生涯の仲間

GLTでの日々の活動は、もちろん楽しいこと

大変なことや、挫折することも多くあるでしょう。

しかし、あなたは1人ではありません。

同じように苦楽を共にできる仲間がいます。

時には、語らい合い、困難を共に乗り越え、

一緒に目標に向かって切磋琢磨する。

そんな、高校時代の部活動の様な、熱く、

それでいてお互いに刺激し合えるような

一生涯の仲間がGLTの活動ではできます。

Organize a travel group

What’s better than traveling the world? Doing it for free. Our Group Coordinator program lets you share your passion for travel (and food, and history) with others—plus awesome perks, including a free spot on tour for every six travelers who join you.

How it works

Our Group Coordinator community is a diverse crew with one thing in common—a passion for sharing the world with others. Whether you’re the person in your circle who plans all the fun, a leader of your book club looking to visit the setting of your favorite novel, or a lifelong educator, you could be the perfect fit. Here’s how we can help you make your travel dreams a reality.

We’ll match you with a Tour Consultant who’ll share the details of becoming a Group Coordinator and help you plan your trip. Count on them for help every step of the way. Call us at 1-800-438-7672 to get started.

Choose from 200+ immersive, guided tours with curated itineraries that your group members will love (Spoiler alert: They’re all pretty dreamy.) We take care of everything, from accommodations to zip lining.

The more travelers you recruit, the more rewards you’ll pile up. (It takes effort, but we’re here to help you succeed.) So, invite friends, family, neighbors—anyone with an appetite for adventure—to hit the road with you.

Enjoy all the sightseeing and pasta-twirling—and do it all over again thanks to our travel rewards . Our community is here to help you dream up a travel program you (and your travelers) will keep coming back to.

Rewards and perks you won’t get anywhere else

Inspiring fellow travelers and stoking their travel fire is half the fun of being a Group Coordinator. It’s also real work that we love to reward. That’s why we offer our Group Coordinators the best travel loyalty program and perks out there (and tons of resources and support to make it all happen).

Free spot on tour

For every six travelers you bring, you’ll earn a free spot on tour—with no limit to the number of free spaces you can earn or tours you can take. You won’t find this offer anywhere else.

Personalized benefits that go far (just like our 200+ expertly planned guided trips)

Earn commission.

We’ll help you find the commission structure that makes the most sense (and fun) for the program you want to build. Flexibility is built in.

Discounts you can share

Sweeten the deal for your travelers with discounts on tours, as well as unforgettable add-ons. Did someone say sunset Santorini cruise?

Stellar rewards that add up fast

Our unmatched loyalty program, Global Rewards , lets you earn points to redeem on Convention Tours, on-tour experiences, and more.

Exclusive Convention Tours

We design special trips—to spectacular places—just for Group Coordinators, so you can swap everything from travel stories to recruiting strategies.

Meet some of our Group Coordinators

The fun friend who plans themed movie nights and hosts epic dinners. The bon vivant who lives for bringing people together. The adventurer who’s always dreaming up a new escape, whether to the next town over or a time zone half a world away. These are a few of the folks who make up our Group Coordinator community—a bunch of curious, adventurous explorers who share a passion for travel. And if you’re anything like them, you’ll fit right in.

Full-Service Parent Support

We provide superior service to every family before, during and after the program. This includes our 24-hour helpline providing staff support throughout the program.

Expert Staff

GLA’s international staff are more than chaperones. Students are led by program Directors and Mentors who have in-depth professional experince working with youth.

Local Partners

As local leaders who live and work in the community, our partners are able to conduct community assessments, prioritize needs, and execute projects on the ground.
