Participating in BSAP provided me with valuable experiences, skills and knowledge to use in my future career endeavors. The Baxter Student Ambassador Program helped me gain a deeper understanding into the tourism world. I am thrilled to have been part of the program

They [the students] were all amazing and so great to hear the passion and enthusiasm from each of them. On behalf of Trees4Travel I want to thank Baxter for this opportunity and to meet some rising stars!
Fiona B.
I think investing in the education and development of students pursuing careers in the Tourism & Travel industry is essential to ensure a sustainable and successful future for the industry. We need passionate people who love the industry as the tourism industry is a vital part of our local, national, and global economy.

Introducing the 2025 Baxter Student Ambassadors
Tourism education has certainly changed since the Baxter Student Ambassador Program (BSAP) began 11 years ago with the goal of supporting exceptional tourism and hospitality students as they graduate and enter the workforce.
With the ups and downs of pandemics, funding cuts and international student caps, colleges and universities have had to demonstrate adaptability and resilience — as have their students. What has stayed constant is the spirit of mentorship and commitment to uplifting students in their pursuit of careers in the travel, tourism and hospitality industry.
