In celebration of Travel Advisor Month in May, ACTA is organizing both Business Building workshops and a Wellness Challenge for its travel advisor members. The online events are sponsored by Princess Resorts, the Jamaica Tourist Board and Air Canada, and participants will have the opportunity to win prizes.

Business building workshops

• May 1 (11 a.m. EDT) – Turbulence to Triumph – Turning stress and anxiety into profitable opportunities.
• May 1 (1:30 p.m. EDT) – Delegation: The Art of Delegating Effectively – Empower yourself as a travel professional by mastering the skill of delegation. Learn how to effectively assign tasks, streamline processes, and leverage the strengths of your team to maximize productivity and achieve your goals efficiently.
• May 28 (11 a.m. EDT) – Troubles into Treasures: Turning our most challenging clients into our biggest fans – Some clients drain our energies and resources so much we’d be happy to lose them and never hear from them again. However, what if there is a way to turn these clients into your happiest ones that will not only do repeat business, but will likely like you so much they refer you to their network?
• May 28 (1:30 p.m. EDT) – Navigating Emotions: Building Emotional Intelligence for Travel Professionals – Unlock the power of Emotional Intelligence (EI) and its critical relevance in the workplace. This course aims to define EI and delve into its significance within professional settings, equipping participants with the insights needed to grasp its importance and apply it effectively.
