The Discover Dominica Authority (DDA) has just launched a new destination training course, via Online Travel Training (OTT), designed to give UK travel advisers both the knowledge – and the all-important necessary confidence – to sell the Caribbean Nature Island of Dominica to their clients.
Now available on the OTT UK and US platforms, the self-paced course covers Dominica’s seven tourism pillars: Adventure, Health & Wellness, Romance, Aqua, Culture – Events & Entertainment – plus Agro and Kalinago.
Travel professionals will learn about the island’s key experiences, including its rainforests, 365 rivers – plus endless waterfalls – volcanic landscapes, diving and marine experiences, sublime range of wellness offerings (and plentiful yoga), alongside cultural and community-based tourism.
“Travel advisers are important partners in connecting their travel clients with Dominica, particularly in our key source markets,” says Marva Williams, CEO of the Discover Dominica Authority. “This new course allows us to deepen their destination knowledge while expanding our reach among travel professionals who can confidently recommend Dominica to their clients.”
Advisers who successfully complete the training will receive a Certificate of Completion.
The DDA will promote the course initially to travel professionals across the UK, US and Canada, with the training expected to become available on OTT’s France and Germany platforms soon.
UK travel advisers can access the Dominica course via Online Travel Training.
