SYTA "ROAD SCHOLARSHIP" FOR STUDENTS IN NEED
The SYTA Youth Foundation established the Road Scholarship program to award funds to youth who, for various reasons, are unable to afford the cost of their group's travel.  Based on the belief that travel is essential to a complete education, it is the SYTA Youth Foundation's goal to make a positive difference, through travel, in the young lives of our global citizens.  
All Road Scholarship nominations must be submitted by an educator, program leader, or designated school official for students under the age of 18.  Application period is open from September 1 to October 17, 2014.  Applications will only be accepted online.

In June, Good News Tour & Travel hosted a Music Director Familiarization (FAM) Trip to Winnipeg, Manitoba.   This was my first time in Winnipeg and had a wonderful time.   Winnipeg was first established as a fur trading post, our weekend started at Fort Gibraltar.more on Winnipeg.

Boston Sunset DISCOVER BOSTON 
By Ann Hanson, GNTT Sales Manager
Recently I traveled to Boston for a Familiarization (FAM) tour presented by the Convention and Visitors Bureau.  Boston is a one-of-a-kind American city that offers student group opportunities to relive history, view the arts, participate in performance opportunities, explore museums, and more.   info on Boston. 
DORIS CAIN

It is with mixed emotions that GNTT announces the semi-retirement of our Vice President, Doris Cain. 


 

Twenty + years ago, Doris combined her passion of travel and her educational background into a career in the group travel industry.  She has been dedicated to providing high quality educational tours at an affordable cost while giving students a meaningful, life changing experience.
 

Although we will all miss Doris working full time at GNTT, she will continue to work, with a few Wisconsin schools, during the 2015/2016 travel seasons.  She has worked hard all of her career and has earned the opportunity to enjoy more time with her family and grandchildren.
