Perfect Weddings Abroad unveils new agent training academy

Perfect Weddings Abroad is celebrating its 20th year of trading with its first travel agent training programme.

 

The Perfect Weddings Abroad Specialist Academy is free to agents who have a trading agreement in place with the specialist operator.

 

The five-module programme, introduced today (November 13), covers all aspects of planning and booking a wedding abroad, from legal requirements for overseas ceremonies to destinations and how to market to couples and their guests.

 

As well as giving agents access to e-learning modules, the operator will also deliver monthly destination masterclasses focused on popular wedding locations, venues and hotels.

 

The content has been put together in partnership with travel training specialists Talent Vista.

 

Perfect Weddings Abroad managing director Helen Doyle said: “I am absolutely thrilled to launch our first-ever interactive training programme for travel agents.

 

“Having organised weddings abroad for more than 20 years, the team and I know how challenging overseas weddings can be.

 

“At the same time, they are a lucrative revenue stream, from commissionable wedding packages, to large multi-generational guest groups. I’m excited to support more travel agents to develop their knowledge of the weddings abroad market, giving them the confidence to sell”.

 

Talent Vista MD Jo Roche added: "Our mission is to elevate standards in the travel sector, ensuring that both individuals and businesses have the skills to thrive in a competitive market and what better way to do that than in this niche.”
