The very nature of Governmental and Institutional Trips confers on them some unique requirements and needs that may vary according to the Status and Rank of the Head of Mission, and the Institutional Role to be played during the trip.

Knowing the principles that help meet the demands of this sector, and their impact on the main service suppliers, will help professionals in the sector to manage these trips properly.

The course lays a solid foundation towards specialization and professionalization in the sector of Governmental and Institutional Travel, helping the professionals from the different service suppliers, as well as the organizers of these trips, to improve their communication, coordination and development.

One of the main objectives of Governmental and Institutional Travel is the development and maintenance of diplomatic relations between the various delegations, as well as the strengthening of institutional relations between delegations of different cultures, nationalities and confessions.

That is why, in this type of travel, the protocol stands out as one of the most important areas of application that enhances these relations, helps to develop them and minimizes possible divergences between delegations.

The protocol team in a Governmental and Institutional Trip holds a crucial role for the achievement of the diplomatic missions' objectives, and the strengthening of the institutional relations between different cultures, nationalities and confessions.

Finally, the fundamentals defined by the United Nations in relation to Sustainable Tourism Development will be taken into account during the training program, evaluating their application to the different areas of action involved in the governmental travel sector.

The course will allow students to increase their competitiveness and positioning through this specialized training in a new sector, that of governmental and institutional travel: a new field of knowledge in a constantly evolving industry that lacks true experts.
