Welcome to the Tourism Pro Academy
These past few years have changed the Tourism industry. No other sector of the economy has been battered as much as Hospitality and Tourism.
Your job has changed drastically. You might be in the same role but with fewer resources, or learning a new role with little guidance. Or maybe you are new to the Tourism industry ( Welcome- I am so glad you are here!) and want to succeed and grow.
Let this site be the place where you get your bearings, and start to find ways to make this situation a positive one for you, your team, and your business.
The saying 'We are all in this together' has always been true for tourism, now it is necessary.
The first step? You can get started right away by checking out the Free Tourism resources section, where you can find tools such as glossaries and ‘how-to’ articles so that you can become a confident and informed tourism professional as we move forward.
Once you have checked out those resources take a peek at the online courses, mini-courses and my e-book on the Group tour industry.
The Pandemic has set us all back and although the future will be bright again for tourism. it won't happen overnight. Take this time to learn some new skills that will make you a stronger business professional.
My goal is to help you get more visitors through your doors. Let's do this!
