The Scandinavian Travel Service is offering a series of workshops for independent travel agents in order to increase their knowledge of the destination.
Managing director Iain Cottam said STS had spoken to agents to find out what they needed and what information would be most useful.
“The main thing that came across very strongly indeed was how keen agents are to have more training,” he said.
As a result, a series of regional product knowledge workshops have been designated and are being run in Norwich February 28, Guildford March 1, Manchester March 7, Edinburgh March 9 and Newcastle March 14. “We hope as many agents as possible will attend,” added Cottam.
The Scandinavian Travel Academy, created a year ago by STS, was designed to be an informative club offering agents enhanced commission, sales related prizes and rewards, educationals, holiday concessions, newsletters and first access to special offers and late deals.
The workshops aim to develop agents’ product knowledge and to add value to the promotion and sale of the Norwegian Coastal Voyage and Scandinavian Travel Service.
