WeTravel has unveiled an enhanced WeTravel Academy, designed to improve usability and support the career development of multi-day travel professionals. The rebranded academy includes a comprehensive suite of resources and tools tailored to the needs of various travel businesses, from travel agencies to tour operators and destination management companies (DMCs).
Since its initial launch in December 2021, the academy has offered a variety of webinars, workshops, courses, blogs and downloadable guides in collaboration with industry experts, providing the latest industry information and tools free of charge. Over the past three years, the WeTravel Academy has grown to include over 500 pieces of multi-day, group travel-specific content across 12 topics and reporting thousands of travel professional downloads each month. In 2022, the academy expanded with the launch of the Women+ in Travel vertical. This year, WeTravel added within the academy a Multi-Day Travel Product Development vertical supporting product managers, destination managers and product marketers through each stage of the product development process.
