A shared commitment to connection, collaboration, and responsible tourism

At Learn Tourism, we believe that strong relationships are foundational to a thriving tourism industry. That belief is one of the reasons every member of the Learn Tourism team is proud to be a member of SKÅL International.

SKÅL brings together tourism professionals from across the industry destinations, hospitality, transportation, attractions, and travel services who share a commitment to ethical collaboration and meaningful connection. For us, SKÅL reflects the same values that guide our work every day: learning together, supporting one another, and strengthening tourism through trust and partnership.

A Global Network with Shared Values

As a global organization with local clubs around the world, SKÅL offers a unique balance of international perspective and community-level connection. Membership opens doors to conversations with peers who understand both the challenges and opportunities of tourism, creating space for idea-sharing, collaboration, and growth.

Why SKÅL Matters to Learn Tourism

Our work at Learn Tourism centers on building stronger destinations through education, empathy, and engagement. SKÅL complements this mission by fostering relationships that go beyond transactional relationships rooted in respect, learning, and long-term impact. Being part of SKÅL helps us stay connected to industry leaders who are shaping tourism in thoughtful, responsible ways.

More Than a Network

What truly sets SKÅL apart is its emphasis on friendship. It’s a reminder that tourism, at its core, is about people welcoming one another, sharing experiences, and working together to create positive outcomes for communities and visitors alike.

For the Learn Tourism team, SKÅL membership is more than an affiliation. It’s a reflection of who we are and how we choose to show up together in the tourism industry.
