Combining our staff’s expertise in both tourism and education, we have been running unique and creative study tours to off-the-beaten-track destinations since 2009, with thorough professionalism and maintaining an impeccable safety record. We aim to broaden students’ horizons by exposing them to unique experiences throughout China. Our unique educational tours focus on a combination of cultural immersion and outdoor education. We place an important emphasis on experiential learning. We do not just visit tourist spots, but we experience the places we visit and take a step deeper. The majority of our team have a background in both travel and education and this is where we look to excel.
Each year we expand our destinations and topics. Our goal is to work closely with schools to incorporate their curriculum and learning objectives in our educational travels, and give the students and staff exceptional experiences. At The Hutong we strive for students to go home not only with happy memories but a different perspective on the world around them using experiential learning through a unique blend of cultural awareness, sustainability and outdoor education.
