Fort Myers, Florida is a wonderful destination for travelers who love nature and a laid-back vibe. Travel advisors can help plan trips to the destination with expert advice when they complete the Fort Myers - Islands, Beaches and Neighborhoods specialist program, available for free through the Travel Agent Academy.

But why should you become a Fort Myers Specialist? Well, there are a few reasons. 

The city, located on the western coast of Florida just east of Cape Coral, offers hundreds of miles of paddling trails, as well as white-sand beaches, parks, preserves and plenty of culinary and cultural activities to enjoy. 

The program will guide travel advisors on the ins and outs of this beautiful destination, from showcasing the Great Calusa Blueway to offering information on the types of accommodations that are available to book or rent. 

The Destination Wedding Guide

The Fort Myers Specialist program has been recently updated to offer an entire section and specialist option for destination weddings. 

Any travel advisor who specializes in destination weddings should be interested in the destination-specific program, while others can get a glimpse into the destination’s own unique romantic offerings, from beach weddings to honeymoons and more. 

What It Takes to Become a Fort Myers Specialist

The training program is free to join and can be completed on the computer or with any iOS device. Travel advisors who complete the program will receive a certificate of completion, as well as two Continuing Education credits from The Travel Institute. 

The entire course takes only a few hours to complete and comes with several resources you can continue to access as you plan and book travel to Fort Myers.
