BE AN EXPERT
Earn your accreditation as a Vancouver Specialist
Specialization is the key to success for travel
professionals in frontline sales. To help you effectively sell one of the
world's most spectacular destinations, Tourism Vancouver has created
the Vancouver Specialist Program, an online training program designed to
expand your knowledge of Vancouver, increase your sales and help you
deliver tailored itineraries for your clients. This program was designed to
be intuitive, interactive and engaging because we believe learning should
be interesting, fulfilling and fun – just like a visit to Vancouver.
THE PERKS
When you earn accreditation as a Vancouver
Specialist, you will receive a Vancouver Specialist
certificate. As well, access special benefits and
sales resources to further enhance your ability to
sell the destination to your clients.
Achieving a Vancouver Specialist designation means you will have even
more confidence to promote and sell Vancouver. More importantly, your
clients will appreciate that your knowledge of the city will allow you to
create a better travel experience for them. The program's five themed
modules are devoted to different facets of the city's attractions, activities
and facilities, within various categories:
1. Vancouver Basics
2. Top Activities
3. Unique Markets and Experiences
