History

Tio has been established in 1969 by VVV-Director D.J.F. Wilmink on behalf of the business community in order to fulfill the need for educated people in the hospitality and tourism industry. In the early 70's tourism flourished explosively, but there was a lack of the right education and schools. Corporate responded by founding three institutions; Tio Business School, the AVR vocational school and the AVV vocational school. These trade schools were popular due to their short and focused programs which matched the needs of future employers. When the Dutch government stopped subsidizing these schools in the late 1980s, Tio proceeded as a private institution.

Duthler acquisition

In the early 1990s Tio was experiencing a decrease in new student enrollments and around this period father and son Duthler took over the institution. This decrease was a result of the previous director who abolished the free public transport provisions that Tio students had been able to make use of. [3] After the acquisition a restart followed and changes were implemented.

In 1993 and 1994 Tio took over the AVV vocational school and the AVR vocational school and in 1997, Tunon, a former hospitality school, was also acquired by Tio. From 1991 until 2020 Mark Duthler was the director of Tio, to be followed up by Katinka Reuling in 2020.
