The U.S. Embassy in Athens is proud to partner with INSETE to offer discounted online courses from Cornell University to Greek tourism and hospitality professionals. The Embassy's contribution will reduce the cost of the online courses for a select number of participants. All the courses were developed by faculty from various schools at Cornell University, which has one of the leading departments in tourism studies. Each course provides learners with skills that can be immediately applied at their organizations. Recognizing the important work that InSETE is performing in offering capacity building programs to Greek tourism professionals and organizations and growing the Greek tourism industry, the U.S. Embassy is happy to expand the collaboration with InSETE & Cornell University, by organizing an educational event next Fall with experts from Cornell University.

You can transfer a course by emailing droptransfer@ecornell.com and requesting a new start date.
