Alaska Certified Expert (ACE) Training Modules for Members
In September 2006, we launched the Alaska Certified Expert (ACE) training hosted online at www.travelalaska.com/trade. The ACE program was designed to designate travel professionals as experts on the destination of Alaska. It features comprehensive information on the five regions of the state and specific offerings of each region.
We are now offering training window pages to the membership for you to expand your community or product information! Each page can contain up to 300 words and one photo, chart or map and can be expanded upon with the use of digital video, sample itineraries, and the opportunity for live webcast trainings arranged by ATIA. Member packages range from $750 - $3,000 and $1,500 for DMO packages.
Modules will run from July 1 – June 30, 2008 with a registration deadline of May 18, 2008. Module information and registration form here. If you have any questions, please contact Jillian Simpson or call (907) 646-3308.
