In your opinion, which are the main benefits for a student to study abroad?
Some of the main benefits of studying abroad is not only experiencing new places but also getting immersed in the new culture. Students can make new friends from around the world which allows them to gain a different perspective on life. All of this and more can be achieved while learning English!
How do you see the future of language tourism?
I am positive the future of language tourism will flourish. People will always want human interaction and will want to physically visit a city. Looking at it through the internet is just not the same. If anything, due to the increase in technology and the internet, more people will become aware of what is ‘out there’ and they will want to see it for themselves.
What types of courses do you think will be most in demand in the future?
OHLA has been focusing on Higher Education for years now because we feel this is the future of our industry.
We have, and continue to grow, our solid University Pathway and Placement Program. We currently work with 67+ Universities in the United States.
