Language learners have been advised every now and then that a language travel experience is better than other language learning methods since it allows them to go to the place where their target languages are spoken and explore the place and culture.

Language Travel Magazine is the flagship business publication for the study abroad sector of the travel industry and it covers language learning oversees, work experience, and volunteering. The magazine is published monthly for the study abroad professionals and educational consultants in more than one hundred ten countries worldwide. The magazine also provides new, features, and market analysis and is available only to subscribers.

The Language Travel Magazine Star Awards or LTM Star Awards are unique peer-voted awards in the international education industry and the education organizations vote for their preferred agent partners and vice versa. The awards acknowledge the important mutual links between organizations that offer work and education experience to international students and those organizations that send students overseas for an international study experience.

Any genuine education provider or education consultant can vote for the LTM Star Awards. Each company regardless of the number of offices has a maximum of five votes to be used by different staff. Each of the votes must be completed through LTM’s online voting system and each vote will be checked to ensure that it originates fro a genuine operator within the industry. Educators cannot vote for educators and consultants cannot vote for consultants.
