The New York State of mind
The New York State online training programme has arrived! With 11 vacation regions and countless attractions to learn about, there really is no time to waste.
To mark the launch of the programme, a trip to New York is being offered by the ILNY UK and Ireland office, to see and hear everything that you learn about.
Complete the course before the end of September to be entered into the prize draw for a chance to win 2 return flights to New York, courtesy of Norwegian Airlines. There will also be £20 vouchers for the 5 runners up in the prize draw.
There’s plenty to be discovered in the Empire State, from the magnificent Niagara Falls, to the vast Adirondack Mountains, to the ‘Big Apple’ New York City itself; diversity could be its middle name.
