These are all examples of “Technical Visits” or “TVs” for short. A technical visit is a travel industry term that refers to any educational-based travel experience or program tailored to a group’s specialized set of interests.

Overseas visitors are provided with focused technical and professional information, allowing them to gain a special insight into best practices and trends in their chosen fields. And domestic hosts have the opportunity to learn from their international guests’ unique perspectives, while promoting their brand abroad.

Technical Visits International (TVi) specializes in the arrangement of technical visits and prides itself on bringing overseas guests and domestic hosts together!
