Host the World in Your District
Uluslararası Misafir Programı — Belediyeniz için yeni gelir, istihdam ve küresel tanıtım
TBC sponsors international students and young professionals to live in your district for 2 weeks to 3 months — homestays, local hotels, cottages, tours and cultural programs. We pay $1,500–$3,000 per visitor, spent directly in your local economy.
