Frequently Asked Questions
How long are teaching vacations?
Trip length varies by destination, but most are 7 nights, Saturday to Saturday. Travel days (Saturdays) are class-free days.
Are there any fees?
The Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) pays a $370 admin fee for each teaching vacation booked. An additional $100 - $150 gift fund fee added for some resorts (collected by us but passed on to destination).
For each flight taken as part of this program, a donation will be made to Trees for the Future
Only non-diet Registered Dietitian Nutritionists? Why is that?
RDNs have the education and credentialing that ensures their legitimacy as a resource and educator.
Intuitive eating / anti-diet RDNs understand the importance of delivering nutrition information in a way that does no harm.
What is not included?
Flights and transfers.
How do I know if I'm approved?
After creating an account by completing the application, you will receive an email from Meaghan at The Nutrition Travel Exchange.
How do I book my vacation?
"Members" (approved RDNs) email their trip dates and we will let you know as soon as possible if and when those dates have been confirmed by the destination. At that point, class details (dates/times and content) will be finalized.
When should I book my flights?
Wait until your teaching vacation is confirmed by Meaghan before booking your flights!
When choosing travel dates, be sure you have all your ducks in a row and are positive that week will work for you. Once your requested travel vacation week is confirmed, it means we have finalized and confirmed the reservation and your teaching vacation with the destination.
What should I declare on my customs declaration forms?
You need to designate pleasure or vacation. If you designate anything business related it won't go smoothly.
Should I get travel insurance?
It's recommended.
I'm a resort and would like more information. How can I find out more about this very affordable way of offering nutrition services to my guests?
