Regina Maris left Amsterdam for 6 months sailing with SCHOOL AT SEA: an interesting journey via Canary Islands, Caribean, Panama, Cuba, Azores and back to Amsterdam.

“The present school system offers too few extracurricular activities. Students don’t, for instance, come into contact with nature” says Monique Touw, instigator of the School At Sea project. This is why today, the Dutch sailing ship’s crew members joined by thirty secondary school students and teachers enjoyed a tour around Tigaiga hotel subtropical gardens on their way to America!

Today, on the World Tourism Day, the Hotel Tigaiga held an Open Day during which students from the British School of Tenerife were invited to see the living environment of the hospitality industry.

The purpose of this day is to raise awareness on the role of tourism within the international community and to demonstrate how it affects social, cultural, political and economic values worldwide.
