Here’s what one retailer had to say about the Travel Goods Specialist Certificate Program:
“One thing is for sure, when things get tough, travel is hit first and harder than other sectors of the economy. For a retailer in our industry, it is of maximum importance that every consumer in our door is ‘harvested’ far more than ever before. The best way to maximize the harvest in these tough times is to be sure our staff is trained to the max, and this is best made possible by the Travel Goods Specialist Certificate Program. There is no better way to make the traveling consumer a more productive customer than with the knowledge they will ultimately gain from this training program. The timing of the Travel Goods Specialist Certificate Program could not have been better!”
