As Senior Director of Education at The Travel Institute, I have the greatest job—ensuring that you have access to the highest quality education at every stage of your career. But I also know that being able to afford that education is just as important. That is why I am thrilled that we are able to offer you Scholarships!
As I look back at 2023, it stands out as a beacon of success in welcoming a wave of new talent into our industry. There is a palpable excitement among individuals to turn their passion for travel into a career. There is no doubt that this presents a great opportunity for our industry. At the same time, it presents a challenge: our industry, known for its open doors and lack of entry barriers, is seeing people entering without the foundational knowledge crucial for their success.
As we celebrate our 60th anniversary as the only non-profit organization solely focused on education for our industry, of course, we see this as a challenge we want to take on. This is exactly why our team at The Travel Institute has been laser focused on creating and maintaining the industry’s leading award-winning entry-level program: The TRIPKITSM.
This online self-paced program is built around three industry pillars:
- Travel 101 (Sales, marketing, service, and the five segments of travel: Air, Ground, Accommodations, Tours & Packages, and Cruises)
- Destination Geography (What to do, what to see, best time to visit, how to get there)
- and Business Acumen (Build your business, how to set up your books, your marketing strategy, choose a specialty, understand the financial and legal side of the business)
The curriculum is meticulously designed for future professionals to immerse themselves in this industry and to prepare them to successfully own and operate their own travel business, plan global destination trips, implement successful marketing strategies, and earn more money.
Participants access the program through a state-of-the-art learning management system and progress via a 19-lesson journey, comprising over 13 hours of industry expert sessions, insider insights, application-based activities, college textbooks, knowledge assessments, and invaluable practical advice.
Our goal remains unwavering: to equip our future travel professionals with the tools and knowledge they need to excel. By the time they step into your offices or their own, they are primed to continue expanding their knowledge and driving sales.
Together, let’s pave the way for a new generation of travel professionals, armed not just with passion but with the expertise to elevate our industry to greater heights. It is our duty and responsibility to nurture these professionals.
Happy New Year, and Good Luck!
Guida.
Senior Director of Education
