A Niche You Can Love
By Stacey Zable
Learn how to reap the rewards of honeymoons and destination weddings

A honeymoon certainly is one of the most memorable trips your clients will take in their lifetime, and it could be one of their most expensive. When you add on a destination wedding and it becomes a group booking, you’ve just upped your commission substantially. If you want to be a part of selling this niche market, you should sign up for the third version of the successful Honeymoon and Destination Wedding Category Specialist, which recently launched on www.TravelAgentAcademy.com.

The updated three-chapter program provides the how-to information you need to know this market, the products to sell and how to find them. Total U.S. destination-wedding spending estimates for 2009 are expected to reach $16 billion and are forecasted to grow at an annual rate of 14 percent, according to research provided by Destination Weddings & Honeymoons magazine. That means, this year, destination-wedding spending is expected to reach $18 billion. This niche is well worth your investment in education.

Those of you who pass the program’s three chapter-quizzes receive a Honeymoon & Destination Wedding Specialist 3.0 diploma and logo, both immediately downloadable from the site. The diploma and logo are excellent to use when marketing yourself as an expert to this segment. Be sure to put the logo on your business card.

If you’re an agent who has earned his/her CTC or CTA from The Travel Institute, you can qualify to receive 2 CEUs (Continuing Education Units) for passing the Honeymoon & Destination Wedding Specialist 3.0 course.
