HOW TO GET INTO THE TRAVEL BUSINESS:

Is travel your passion? Do you spend your spare time traveling to

wonderful places and seeing the world? Why not make money out

of doing what you love? This one-session course will explain how

you can turn your passion into a way to earn some extra cash and

possibly a future career. We will explore the ins and outs of the

travel industry and the pros and cons of a travel career. Upon

successful completion, you will have the opportunity to apprentice

with a tour operator. If traveling is your thing, taking this course

might be one of the best decisions you could ever make.
