The Domestic Instructor will have the opportunity to choose a destination of his/her choice and promote that destination to friends, colleagues, and family.

The tour company will provide each domestic instructor a FREE land package and a FREE roundtrip airfare tickets with a minimum of sixteen-twenty (depending upon the terms of the tour company) paid participants. Domestic Instructor is responsible for any and all taxes, government fees, and insurance.

Each domestic instructor will also receive a $(___) teaching stipend for conducting the two pre-trip seminars.

In addition to the paid trip, and (optional) teaching stipend, the Domestic Instructor is given the opportunity to travel abroad; where he/she will learn about a new culture first hand and broaden their horizons.

The Domestic Instructor may team up with another Domestic Instructor, or choose to earn two "frees" and take his/her spouse or other family member along, also as a "free", only paying taxes, government fees, and insurance.

For a quick overview and review, the job of the Domestic Instructor is purely administrative; a Domestic Instructor is not in charge of or responsible for anything that happens on the tour. That is entirely the legal and professional responsibility of the Tour Company and their Tour Director.
