SEATTLE, 2015-11-13 — /Travel PR News/ — The Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA; www.adventuretravel.biz) is now offering online courses as part of its AdventureEDU program, which provides training for governments, associations and tour operators involved in the adventure travel industry. Previously only offered as in-destination programs, now the ATTA is offering three courses using the online education platform, Udemy.
The courses are led by AdventureEDUeducators, specialists in professional development specifically as it relates to adventure travel businesses. Most educators have owned or managed tour operator companies so the courses target owner operators who want to build on already successful businesses or are starting out on a new venture.
“Going into a destination and offering an intensive on-site course is rewarding and effective, but bringing this knowledge to a wider audience is very inline with the mission of the ATTA,” said the organization’s Director of Research and Education Christina Beckmann, “The Udemy platform is user-friendly and requires low-bandwidth so students can learn at their own pace, on their own time and gain practical tips with each lesson that they can put to work immediately.”
At this time there are three course offerings:
“As a small owner operator based in Brazil, this course was an excellent fit for my business,” said Vanessa Mariño, who completed the Marketing Strategies course. “We need a marketing plan that we can implement with our small team and be able to monitor as part of our ongoing business operations. The course helped us think through the entire strategy and select aspects we would implement first.”
Courses range from US $99 – $219. To view course options, visit our Online Training Programs page. You will be taken directly to the course page on Udemy by clicking on “Access Course.” ATTA members receive a discount on all course offerings.
