FoTI is an upcoming Research Institute that intends to facilitate tourism students to research, create and sell tourism products. Every product approved to be promoted on our website must have two main outputs: documentary evidence and an academic publication. The idea is to modify the internship model of waiting for long holiday breaks, by exposing them to the intricacies of running a tourism business concurrently with their undergraduate and postgraduate studies. Students will be responsible for the management of business operations, under limited supervision of their Lecturers. The revenue generated from their innovative products will be used to finance their next research and tourism product development. Dissemination of their reseach findings will be via documentaries on our Youtube Channel, and our peer reviewed Foundations of Tourism Institute Journal. Their skills and products will be continuously shared on FoTI website and social media platforms, giving them a chance to be headhunted for various opportunities after their graduation. Other opportunities upon graduation will be a transition to FoTI alumni network to access mentorship on establishing their own businesses, and to compete for postgraduate scholarships. Talented postgraduate students will join the apex of FoTI Think Tank as tourism researchers and policy analysts.
