Hawaii's Aloha Academy is Launched at WTM

HTE's online travel agent training program, Hawaii's Aloha Academy was launched last month at World Travel Market in cooperation with Travel Weekly, the UK's leading travel trade publication. The online training program, which will be managed by Travel Weekly, is open to travel agents and operator reservations staff enabling them to become certified Hawaii Specialists.

The training program, which will be marketed to more than 15,000 travel agents across the UK, Ireland and Continental Europe will require participants to complete eleven different modules each with an end of module exam. A league table will track each participant's performance with top agents being invited on a special fam trip to Hawaii upon completion. To see what the Academy is all about please log onto www.travelweekly.co.uk. HTE would like to thank all sponsors for Hawaii's Aloha Academy.
