Destinations International (DI), a leading resource for destination organisations, has launched an expanded Virtual Education Series designed to offer destination professionals on-demand courses for building skills, strengthening leadership and driving innovation across the tourism sector.

The Virtual Education Series will provide focused learning experiences accessible 24/7, allowing participants to learn on their own schedules. Each course is structured to be highly digestible – whether a 30-minute lesson, a short video series or a focused virtual panel – and is supported with practical tools and downloadable resources for immediate application.

“Our industry is evolving at an unprecedented pace, and education must evolve with it,” said Don Welsh, president & CEO of Destinations International. “The Virtual Education Series ensures destination professionals at every career stage have access to relevant, actionable training that fits seamlessly into their workday.”

The newly released courses include: Technology and Innovation Series – equipping destination leaders with insights into emerging technologies, including AI, and their practical applications. Leadership Series – helping destination professionals step into or advance within leadership roles by strengthening mindsets, tools and organisational influence. Skills Series – delivering essential tools, techniques and soft skills needed to thrive in a competitive, fast-changing environment.

Additional offerings, including a DI Digest Series, will be released soon to further support continuous professional development.

The Virtual Education Series individual courses are offered at $59 for members and $79 for non-members. Check online at destinationsinternational.org/virtual-education-series.
