Global Travel International Enhances Training for Its Membership

Global Travel International (GTI), the world leader in the home-based travel industry with the largest membership base, today announced another impressive enhancement to its membership programs.

With agents in all 50 states and in over 80 countries, Global Travel International’s progressive use of technology keeps the company at the forefront of developments in the travel industry.

Global Travel’s commitment to provide industry-leading training to its growing membership base was demonstrated this week by the addition of a new e-Learning tool, the online version of GTI’s Global Tutor Welcome Training Session.

Available to GTI members at www.globaltravel.com, this training session is broken into 25 audio chapters playable at an agent's leisure right on the GTI website. It provides new and existing agents a quick start package to help them start selling travel to friends and family, and to learn how to get huge discounts on their own travel. Accompanying documents hyperlinked to the site are available for the agent to refer to while listening.

Global Travel’s comprehensive suite of training enables a travel agent —- whether an industry novice or long-time professional —- to learn everything necessary to build a successful travel business on either a full-time or part-time basis. GTI’s CruiseCollege, Certified Vacation Specialist seminar, Global Tutor program, FAM (Agent Familiarization) trips, and onboard ship inspections are just a few of the many offerings of GTI University. Often, sessions are sellouts, emphasizing the popularity of GTI’s training.

“We are committed to providing the greatest value possible to our membership program,” said Michael Gross, GTI President and CEO. “Now our newest members can begin earning money faster than ever, and learn how to live the travel agent lifestyle from Day 1 of their membership. We are excited about this addition to our stable of training programs within GTI University, and we plan further enhancements this year.”
