IS THERE ANY SITES OR COMPANY OFFERING FREE TRAVEL PACKAGES

 Yes — there are some programs and opportunities that offer sponsored or partially-funded travel/training for tourism and hospitality students. It depends a lot on your country of origin, eligibility criteria, and how competitive the program is. Here are some examples I found + ideas of where to look:

 Examples of Existing Opportunities

1. ETA Scholarship Program
   ETA Adventures offers student travel scholarships. etadventures.com
   You apply, create/share content from the trip (e.g., video), and some funding is given toward the trip cost. etadventures.com

2. FundedTravel platform
   This is a site that aggregates free travel opportunities, scholarships, volunteering etc. It’s good to monitor their listings. fundedtravel.com

3. Global Expeditions Group’s GXG Foundation
   GXG provides scholarships / financial aid for certain travel/adventure & study-abroad programs (e.g. ActionQuest, Sea|mester etc.). Wikipedia

4. Hospitality Internship Programs

   • 5StarCareer offers internships in UAE & other countries in hospitality / hotels where many costs like accommodation, meals, visa etc. are supported. Although the travel to/from often needs to be covered. 5starcareer

   • Guru Education and Visa Services helps Nepali students get hospitality internships abroad (including UAE) with support services. guruvisa.com.np

 What to Watch Out For

• Even in “sponsored” / “free” programs, some costs like flights, insurance, or visa might not be covered. Always check the fine print.

• Programs may expect you to produce content (social media posts, blogs, reports) or work in exchange.

• Some require you to meet criteria (age, academic grade, English level, relevant experience).

 How You Can Find / Apply for Such Sponsorships

• Check with your university or college’s international office or tourism/hospitality department — they may have partnerships or knowledge of upcoming offers.

• Follow travel, education, and hospitality NGO or foundation newsletters — many opportunities are emailed first.

• Look up travel scholarship sites / platforms (like FundedTravel, GoAbroad, or Erasmus for European programs if you’re eligible).

• Engage with tourism boards or campaigns in Dubai / UAE (sometimes there are contests or influencer/ambassador programs).

• Apply for internships that include stipends and “in-kind” support (e.g. free accommodation + meals). Then you might be closer to “full sponsorship”.
