Visit Florida launches new e-learning platform for Canadian travel pros

Want to brush up on your Florida knowledge? There’s a new online learning program for that.

Visit Florida has launched its newest program for Canadian travel trade professionals – Florida Travel Pro.

The e-learning platform is “designed to help travel professionals nationwide discover the best the state has to offer and sell Florida like a pro,” states a press release issued today (Nov. 27).

Florida Travel Pro is a collaborative online learning program designed to boost travel agents’ skill sets covering five main categories, from the basics and the beaches to attractions and nightlife.

The modules are “far from standard textbook exercises,” with each taking approximately 12-15 minutes to complete.

The website is currently available in five languages, including French Canadian.

To become a Florida Travel Pro, travel agents and tour operators must complete all five modules. Upon completion, users will then be awarded a personalized Visit Florida Travel Pro Diploma.

Certified Florida Travel Pros will receive a Visit Florida luggage tag, insider tips on ‘Things to Do in Florida’ and access to the exclusive Florida Travel Pro toolkit, in addition to receiving updated news and information on events, seminars and FAMs.

Graduates will also be equipped with the sales companion mobile app, which will serve as a resource long after the program has been completed and can be accessed from anywhere.
