The International School of Sustainable Tourism (ISST) recently opened its new training center at the 52-hectare integrated farmland of James Yen Center of the International Institute for Rural Reconstruction (IIRR) in Silang, Cavite.
Under a recent memorandum of agreement, both institutions can collaborate with each other’s expertise in Earth-friendly agriculture, sustainable tourism, community development and other common avenues of cooperation.
The campus, which has the United Nationals World Tourism Organization as a benefactor, has two classrooms, four executive meeting rooms, a learning resource center, a board room, and can host over 100 students.
