If there was ever a destination that sold itself, it would be Jamaica, but travel advisors can equip themselves with the knowledge and tools to close the deal for clients considering a trip to this beautiful Caribbean island by becoming a Jamaica Travel Specialist through the dedicated program sponsored by Travel Agent Academy in 2022. This free and interactive course will not only introduce travel advisors to this one-of-a-kind destination but also dive deep into the various regions that combine to make it so special as well as the diversity of experiences that await their clients, whether they're visiting for the first time or returning. What's more, specialists will continue to reap the rewards of the Jamaica Travel Specialist Program long after they've graduated.

The Jamaica Travel Specialist Program will immerse students in some of the country's most sought-after tourist-friendly destinations, including places like Kingston, Montego Bay, Negril, Ocho Rios and Port Antonio, among others. Travel advisors will learn more about the island's natural wonders from its inviting beaches to otherworldly attractions including Dunn's River Falls and the country's famous Blue Mountains. Throughout the course, students will also find out about some of the top accommodations and activities that await so that they can craft the ideal Jamaica itinerary for each client.

Students won't be limited to just reading about what sets Jamaica apart as the program features award-winning content that includes colorful images, videos and other helpful graphics as well as quizzes that make completing the course both interactive and fun. Participating travel advisors can also complete the course at their own speed on their own time and can monitor their progress as they move through via the meter on the left of their screen.

Students who complete the course will receive a certificate of graduation as a Jamaica Travel Specialist and Jamaica Weddings & Honeymoons Specialist in addition to three CEU credits from The Travel Institute. Graduates can also look forward to exclusive perks such as listings on VisitJamaica.com, monthly newsletters featuring spectacular deals across the island and reward points and prizes for top-booking travel advisors via One Love Rewards.

The One Love Rewards Store allows travel advisors to turn their Jamaica bookings into merchandise, cash prizes and even free trips. Graduates can simply record each of their bookings to start earning points right away that they can redeem later. It's that easy. Graduates will also have added incentive to be the top booker each month as that individual will receive a $300 cash reward. Nonetheless, all active bookers can be on the lookout for promotions offering chances to win special prizes and free trips to Jamaica.

Graduates will also be rewarded with Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB) arrival courtesies at Montego Bay's Sangster International Airport for their bride and groom clients as well as a massive 50 percent discount at Club Mobay and Club Kingston for arrivals in and departures from Jamaica.
