The Puerto Rico Tourism Company has launched a specialist program to help home based travel agents learn all about the island, from its golf and scuba diving to its history and culture.
Located at www.GoToPuertoRico.com, the program is specifically designed for home based travel agents who are interested in becoming certified experts on the destination. The certification program is open to all bona fide agents employed by an ARC/IATA/ IATAN approved company, ASTA members and/or holding a current ACE, CTA, and CTC, DS or TCI certification. CLIA, NACTA and OSSN members are also welcome.
To register, travel agents can either take an introductory e-test by visiting the website, calling the assigned PRTC Business Development Manager in their region to request a presentation for their staff or looking online for scheduled Go to Puerto Rico presentations in their area.
After passing the test, to become a certified PRTE, travel agents can sign up online for the six nights/seven day core program. During this on-island program, travel agents will experience first hand the varied facilities and activities Puerto Rico has to offer their clientele; be it singles, couples, honeymooners, families, food and history lovers or sports and nature enthusiasts.
Once the program is completed, home based travel agents will be fully certified and can enjoy from the following numerous benefits: PRTE ID Card, framed PRTE certificate, Dream Points Reward Program, online "Locate a PRTE" section for consumers, 12 CEUs from The Travel Institute (formerly ICTA), exclusive access to the Leads Online consumer and agent's lead referrals and special offers.
Online access to Go To Puerto Rico Seminars and special events, invitations and online registration to seminars offered by the Puerto Rico Tourism Company globally, online registration to Familiarization Trips, support from PRTC Business Development Managers in the field, automatic subscription to Que Pasa! -- Puerto Rico's signature magazine, E-Newsletter with up to the minute information and special offers, and Le-Lo-Lai value calling card for clients.
In addition, agents can specialize in a variety of niche markets, including Paradores, Vieques & Culebra, Scuba, Nature & Adventure and Golf/Spa & Luxury. For more information, visit www.GoToPuertoRico.com
