Abstract

This article aims to clarify the role of international study tours in enhancing public affairs programs. We outline the benefits of these tours and share key lessons from past experiences. Specifically, we explore the motivations for leading such tours—particularly those centered on student development—the strategies for selecting destinations, recruiting participants, and designing activities. We also address some of the challenges educators may face. Finally, we offer practical tips and reflections on international study tours from a university leadership perspective.
