Fast Track Tour Management Training
Video series of most important and basic tour management procedures for leading domestic and international tours.
This self-guided course is the abbreviated, shorter version of the “Live Your Dream Travel Job” training. The video series covers the the basic tour management procedures needed to lead domestic and international tours. This is for those that want to get through the basics asap and also available for review when needed before during and after your tours. I recommend re-watching them after your first tours. That's when new tour directors learn the most and find there are procedures they may be missing in the beginning of their career.
The videos will be updated regularly as needed to keep you up to date on new industry requirements. I hope you find them helpful in your success.
The course does not include all the videos, interviews, assignments, check lists, resources, quizzes, or private FB page.
