TUI launches training programme for third party agents
TUI UK is launching its first online training modules for third party retail agents tomorrow to educate agents on the different Thomson and First Choice products.
To encourage agents to take part, it is offering a prize draw to win an iPad2 and £100 worth of shopping vouchers.
The programme will initially offer five 20-minute training modules on Thomson's Sensatori and Couples collections and First Choice's Holiday Village and SplashWorld collections and Thomson and First Choice's Long Haul product.
A further five modules will launch later this year, making the training a series of ten modules.
Max Mason, General Manager of in-house and third party sales at TUI UK said: “Differentiated product is a key part of our strategy going forward.
"This year we have opened 48 new-to-concept hotels, and by 2013 we want 60% of the holidays in our programme to be differentiated. This online training programme is a fantastic tool to help our third party agents really get to grips with the unique holiday packages that Thomson and First choice offer. ”
