Our team in Zanzibar and in the U.S. is committed to opening doors to tourism entrepreneurship for Zanzibaris who often do not see the economic benefits of tourism. Our Board of Trustees in Zanzibar and Board of Directors in the U.S. are volunteers who are industry leaders; they ensure we remain focused on our mission and have the resources needed to help support these tourism business entrepreneurs. Our paid staff in Zanzibar is made up of tourism and business professionals with both impressive academic qualifications and immense industry experience – they are true role-models for our students and beneficiaries. In addition to our Zanzibari paid staff, international volunteers assist in providing our students with a global perspective on tourism and entrepreneurship.
