YTB launches E-Campus
A new instructional series designed to be one of the most ambitious and comprehensive-training programs ever offered by a host agency has been
launched by YTB for its growing number of Referring Travel Agents. (RTA’s) The courses designed by TheAcademy.com will initially consist of 10 unique courses and will be rolled out by introducing a new course every six to eight weeks, until the 10 courses have been implemented.
What’s even more impressive is that the YTB E-Campus program is designed by Dr. Marc Mancini, one of the travel industry's most highly respected speakers, educators and consultants and authors of such books as Conducting Tours: A Practical Guide, Cruising: A Guide to the Cruise Line Industry, and Selling Destinations: Geography for the Travel Professional. Dr Mancini and his firm are the creative force behind some of the best-known and most successful training programs in the business including training programs for CLIA, AAA, and NTA.
YTB's first course "Overview of the Travel Industry", is currently active, and will be followed by courses on lodging, tours/groups, cruising, air, rail/car rentals, sales/service/marketing, and three courses on destination geography.
J. Kim Sorensen, President and CEO of YTB Travel Network, said, "We are excited about the launch of the YTB E-Campus program, and our partnership with Dr. Mancini. YTB E-Campus was developed to enhance our existing RTA training program by offering comprehensive courses via the Internet. The launch of this program is not only an investment in our RTAs, but also a long-term investment in growing our business and increasing shareholder equity."
Way to go YTB, and thank you for building the best travel business opportunity available!
