Pleasant Holidays And The Travel Institute Partnership
Pleasant Holidays’ Internet Training Program for PleasantAgent.com was recently approved by The Travel Institute to provide up to two (2) Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to Certified Travel Industry Executives (CTIEs), Certified Travel Counselors (CTCs), and Certified Travel Associates (CTAs) who complete the course. Travel professionals who have earned CTIE, CTC, and CTA certifications through The Travel Institute are required to earn ten CEUs annually to maintain their designations.

The accredited Pleasant Holidays program instructs travel agents on uses of the Pleasant Holidays exclusive travel agent Web site at PleasantAgent.com. Agents will learn how to navigate the site to improve their sales. Moreover, the course introduces travel agents to destination content, downloadable sales tools, and other information to help them increase their effectiveness.

Todd Castor, Pleasant Holidays staff vice president of e-commerce, says, “The course is unique in its comprehensive approach to teaching travel agents how to get the most out of online booking. But, more than that, it helps users become more comfortable with this important, electronic vehicle to help them sell more efficiently and more effectively. The Internet is the future of travel.” The Pleasant Holidays program is presented by John Godfrey, the company’s Account Executive, E-Commerce. Pleasant Holidays will begin posting training site locations and course opportunities on PleasantAgent.com within a few weeks. In the interim, interested travel agencies may contact their Pleasant Holidays Business Development Manager or call John Godfrey at 818-991-3390.

For additional information about The Travel Institute, please call 800-542-4282 or visit The Travel Institute’s Web site at www.thetravelinstitute.com
