September will see several new training dates for Japan, Tahiti and more of the agency’s U.S. clients, in addition to a brand new session with California’s award-winning luxury hotel, Post Ranch Inn.
Japan will kick-start the series on Wednesday 9 September at 11am by looking at the ‘road less travelled’ and co-hosted by special guest Mika White, co-founder of Tourism Exchange Japan. The webinar will take agents through Hachinohe City and the Tohoku Region.
Following this, Pittsburgh will debut its new training module on Thursday 17 September. With British Airways direct service set to resume in early 2021, this is the ideal opportunity for agents to get ahead of the curve and learn about this accessible, open, waterside east coast city.
For a touch of luxury, Post Ranch Inn joins the series to educate viewers on the adults-only, ranch-style property, enabling a greater understanding its exceptional accommodation offerings, which feature recycled redwood cabins and cottages surrounded by mountains, forests and fresh sea air. Given the growth in consumer demand for high standard safety and seclusion following lockdown, Post Ranch Inn offers all this and more with its recently launched Premium Purity cleaning service (a US first to utilise this non-toxic, self-disinfecting hygiene solution), as well as exclusivity save starry nights, five-star dining and breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean.
Built in-house by the award-winning team at Mogul – Black Diamond’s unique training platform, the series is dedicated to travel agent training though an entirely bespoke learning experience.
