How To Become a Certified Aruba Travel Expert

Located off the coast of Venezuela, the island of Aruba is a favorite for many travelers. It boasts spacious white sand beaches, a lively social scene and unique excursions such as off-road ATV tours, among other attractions.

Travelers have been drawn to this southern Caribbean island for years, and airlines have even recently increased flights and added new service to Aruba due to the demand.

This island not only has warm temperatures all year but it's also located outside of the hurricane belt, making it an ideal spot to visit even during the rainy season.

Aruba has been open with travel restrictions in place for some time now. Last month, the island announced it was easing COVID-19 related travel restrictions, and just this month, Aruba's government lifted its COVID-19 entry requirements for all international travelers. However, visitors do still need to purchase Aruba Visitors Insurance and complete an Aruba Embarkation/Disembarkation card prior to arrival.

With the island being open to international travelers and with airlines increasing flight service, Aruba is on the radar for many people as they think about their future travel plans. Now is a great time to learn everything there is to know about this "One Happy Island." Travel advisors can do so by becoming an Aruba Certified Expert at Travel Agent Academy.

After a warm welcome in chapter 1, chapter 2 of the program dives right into information on getting to Aruba as well as getting around the island once you're there. Aruba's Queen Beatrix International Airport (AUA) has nonstop flights to more than 20 different gateways. This chapter also shares key information on airport transfers as well as go-to transportation to use throughout the stay.

In chapter 4 of this program, travel agents learn all about the various accommodations on the island. Aruba has a place to stay for every traveler. Whether your clients are in search of a laidback all-inclusive resort stay, a private villa or a busy hotel, this destination has something for every interest and budget.
