AAA High School Travel Challenge

You have to be at least 13 years old and homeschoolers are welcome to participate! Have fun, Tabbi






2007 AAA High School Travel Challenge



The AAA Travel High School Challenge is being repeated in 2007! The nation's largest network of leisure travel agencies is rewarding students for using their GPS (Global Positioning Skills) rather than their GPA. The AAA Travel High School Challenge aims to increase travel and geographic literacy and encourages interest in travel, tourism and hospitality careers among high school students. Ninth through 12th grade public, private and home-schooled students throughout the United States can put their travel knowledge to the test for great prizes and a chance to compete in the national finals in Orlando, FL.

New this year…there are two types of scholarships available – unrestricted awards for any student with travel trivia and geography skills and travel-specific scholarships for those interested in careers in the travel and tourism industry – every student who enrolls in the Challenge can be eligible for both.

Designed by travel industry educator Dr. Marc Mancini and sponsored by AAA preferred partners, the Challenge is a travel-oriented contest with over $100,000 in scholarships and prizes up for grabs!

2007 sponsors include: Bank of America, Continental Airlines, Hard Rock Live Orlando, Marriott, Pleasant Holidays, and Universal Orlando.
