ORLANDO — To help travel agents increase their sales, Visit Orlando has launched new interactive sales tools and resources, including a redesigned Orlando Travel Academy.
Regarded as the destination’s premier training tool, the Orlando Travel Academy provides agents with quick and easy access to sales planning resources, including itineraries, a new media gallery and an all new educational course that will help agents sell the destination and keep clients updated on the latest news.
The course is available on English, Spanish and Portuguese as well as a mobile-friendly version.
