Based on the Luxury Travel Lifestyle Specialist Course, offered by The Travel Institute, this course is an in-depth study of the course content. Class lectures, quizzes and reviews help you prepare for the test. Relevant topics from the previously held one-day seminar called “Selling to the Affluent Market” (Aug 14th 2010) makes this class a well-rounded and in-depth study of this market. Classroom discussions offer real-life examples of the varying needs of the affluent traveler and how to sell to the Luxury market.
