To celebrate the launch of VisitPITTSBURGH’s new cycling module, agents who complete Pittsburgh’s online training via the Pittsburgh Pro’s platform before Friday 7 April are in with the chance of winning one of five Marks & Spencer vouchers worth £100.
Launched in 2022, the Pittsburgh Pro’s e-learning programme consists of four modules providing an overview of the city, insight into the city’s unique experiences, popular tours spaning art, history and cuisine, and exploring the city by bike.
Pittsburgh’s unique topographic blend of steep, winding hills and flat river areas makes it one of the best cities for cycling enthusiasts. Not only is it home to the GAP Trail – a mecca for avid cyclists connecting Pittsburgh to Washington D.C. over 150 miles of breathtaking views – in 2021 the city introduced a further 120 miles of ‘neighbourways’ offering a slower, safer and more comfortable alternative to navigating the city’s streets and its star attractions. Pittsburgh is also home to the Bicycle Heaven Museum which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. The oldest transportation museum dedicated exclusively to bicycles, the BHM showcases over 6,000 models with some available to rent.
Each of the modules has six lessons and a short quiz to test agents’ knowledge as they learn. Carefully crafted to inform, inspire and excite users, the platform gives agents the skills needed to entice customers and ultimately secure and maximise bookings. Those who successfully complete the programme will be crowned a Pittsburgh Pro and receive a PDF certificate.
