In conjunction with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)\, employers who can prove a temporary\, seasonal or periodic recurring need for full-time workers in particular job titles that cannot be filled with U.S. workers are certified to bring in Temporary Foreign Workers to fill those positions for a specific period of up to 9 full months. The processing and requirements are significantly different from J-1 visa workers who are students allowed to work on a temporary basis if their stay in the USA is tied to cultural exchange. To be certified\, employers are required to provide payroll and tax documentation showing that their need for seasonal labor for a specific job title is periodic or traditionally tied to a season of the year by an event or pattern of a recurring nature. Seasonal need varies from one state or geographic area to another. Join us and get your questions answered.

The weight of tourism – environmental\, cultural\, infrastructural – threatens to erode the very places and communities it depends on. That’s not sustainable. It demands transformation. \nAt the Center for Responsible Travel’s (CREST’s) 2025 World Tourism Forum\, we flip the script:\nHow can we transform tourism – so we can sustain it? And how can we ensure its benefits protect the places we love and the people who live there? \nThis year’s theme\, Sustainable Transformation\, and tagline\, “Where Knowledge Sparks Impact\,” reflect what CREST stands for: turning insight\, research\, and local knowledge into real\, measurable action. \nWhy This Forum Is Different\nCREST’s World Tourism Forum is not your typical tourism conference. There are no echo chambers or rubber-stamped panels. Stakeholders don’t work in silos – they co-create. \nCREST’s annual World Tourism is a multi-disciplinary\, multi-sectoral gathering of researchers\, tourism practitioners\, community leaders\, creatives\, academics\, and businesses shaping the future of travel. We bring people together from across the globe – and across the street – to work through tourism’s most urgent challenges and boldest opportunities. \nThis year\, in partnership with our amazing co-presenters CARE for the Cape & Islands\, we’re delighted to bring our Forum to Cape Cod\, Massachusetts – a region where the tension between economic dependence on tourism and the need for ecological and cultural preservation is both urgent and deeply visible. \nWhy Cape Cod?\nCape Cod is a living case study in sustainable transformation. Here\, rising visitor demand intersects with marine conservation. Development pressures collide with climate reality. And centuries-old culture works to stay inclusive without losing its identity. \nThat’s why we’ve partnered with local nonprofit CARE for the Cape & Islands to host this Forum\, grounding global action in local context. From climate action to cultural revitalization\, this three-day experience connects the Cape to the world and\, in turn\, invites the world to learn from the Cape. \nSet against the stunning backdrop of the Pelham House Resort\, our Marquee Sponsor and values-aligned host venue\, this year’s Forum will focus on a bold question: \nIn order for global destinations – with extra attention to the Cape & Islands – to meet the demands of growing visitor economies while preventing further harm from climate change\, overtourism\, and technological disruption\, how must we sustainably transform? \nThe World Tourism Forum is a three-day intensive with CREST and 150+ friends from across tourism\, development\, conservation\, and the private sector. Through immersive education sessions\, intense workshops\, world-class networking\, an academic symposium\, and hands-on experience\, conference attendees will gain insights\, find common ground\, develop solutions\, and get to know one of the world’s most unique cultural destinations.
