FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Considering a course? Order today and pay 2014 prices!

2014 – our 50th anniversary! – has been a year of tremendous growth and excitement at The Travel Institute. And we’ve celebrated this milestone in ways that mean the most to you – our customers. Here’s a snapshot of new or enhanced initiatives we’ve introduced for you in 2014:

  • Totally revised CTC and CTIE curriculums
  • First-ever “Promote Your Professionalism” month-long campaign, which attracted more than 2,000 industry professionals
  • Extensive updates to specialist programs, including Destinations: Alaska, Caribbean, Hawaii, and Saint Lucia; and Niche/Lifestyle: Honeymoons and Destination Weddings
  • More than 20 highly-rated webinars hosted by industry experts from our Professional Educators Program – in addition to nearly 50 popular webinars delivered by our experienced staff
  • Greater focus on our weekly communications like the Hot Tip Tuesday newsletter and the Friday Five blog posts, which boast a combined fan base of some 17,000 readers


Looking ahead, The Travel Institute has some very exciting things planned for you in 2015. And throughout the development stage, we’ve been sensitive to travel professionals’ budgets.

As a not-for-profit organization, it’s something we’ve prided ourselves in for decades. And that’s why we haven’t raised our prices in more than 20 years. But increased costs in all aspects of our business now require a nominal increase. We are still mindful of your budgets, though, and therefor are only raising prices an average of 10 percent on most products, and less on others. Increases vary by product, but range from $5 to an additional $55. And, by purchasing product or enrolling in a course by December 30, you’ll lock in at the 2014 rates, so order today.

You’ll be glad to know that we’re able to keep the cost of membership in The Travel Institute at the same value pricing of $95 per year or $175 for two. Considering members receive a 10-percent discount on all purchases and enrollments, this ends up being a savings of 20 percent in light of the 2015 price hike.

Thank you for your ongoing support of The Travel Institute. We appreciate your understanding and acceptance of the nominal increase. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at support@thetravelinstitute.com.
