Sell Japan Like a Pro With Travel Agent Academy

Japan is a country that blends the ultra-modern with ancient treasures and where there is always something new to explore.

There are endless discoveries awaiting travelers who can explore the country's history through its monuments, castles, shrines and museums as well as experience its festivals, entertainment, dining and shopping.

Travel advisors can become Japan Travel Specialists and sell the country like a pro.

The Specialist General Course provides a pathway to certification for travel advisors. The course features three chapters and after passing the three exams, advisors have completed their training.

Upon completion of the Specialist General Course, a Japan Travel Specialist Advanced Master's Course is offered for those advisors who would like to continue learning about the country. This course contains one chapter and requires passing one exam to receive the advanced certification.

The advanced course assists travel advisors with combining all that they learned in the general course with the resources and insight that advisors will need to plan out the best Japan vacation for their clients with options for every type of traveler.

Travel advisors from both the U.S. and Canada can earn Continuing Education Units (CEU). The Travel Institute offers two CEU credits for the Japan Travel Specialist General Course and two for the Japan Travel Specialist General Course. The Association of Canadian Travel Agencies (ACTA) awards travel advisors four credits each for the general and master's courses.

Travel advisors who complete the Japan Specialist course also receive additional benefits, including priority invitations to familiarization trips and to seminars hosted by Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO), as well as to Japan tourism events hosted by JNTO's supporting suppliers.

Potential clients will also be able to see that travel advisors are experts in travel to Japan. Travel advisors can be listed as a Japan Travel Specialist Travel Agent on the JNTO website with their contact information.
