Dissertation note: Undergraduate Theses (BSTM) - Tourism Management. Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges, 2024. Abstract: This study tries to find out the effects of educational tour to Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges (CSPC) tourism students. The study examines the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents in terms of age, gender, year level and monthly family income while assessing the effectiveness of educational tours across four learning styles: active experimentation, concrete experience, reflective observation and abstract conceptualization. It was discovered that educational tours have a positive effect on students' learning engagement through contact with the environment, cultural orientation and personal and professional development. However, the constraints include difficulties in fixing the dates, funds and transport. Well organized educational tours are vital and there are suggestions for future tours. The findings of this study will be useful in enhancing the welfare of students, instructors, tour operators and future researchers in the area of tourism education at CSPC. The study used a descriptive method to find out what 228 second- and third-year Bachelor of Science in Tourism Management (BSTM) students thought about the good and bad points of these trips. This study used a descriptive survey research approach. It looked at all BSTM students, with 228 of them filling out an online survey. To analyze the data, researchers used weighted averages ranking, and Chi-square tests. The findings showed that educational tours had a positive effect on how students engaged with learning. This was true for hands-on experiences and watching-and-thinking learning styles. But, the research also reveals that financial issues as the major constraint that limits students' participation. The study recommends the ways to increase the effectiveness and accessibility of the educational tour of CSPC.
