Beyond Customer Service

The CTA program extends beyond your current training.  Likely, you are now training your team on your company's philosophy and practices, as well as customer service.  The CTA program reinforces your training and builds upon it with a rich, customized curriculum that is designed to build their knowledge about the destination and their pride for living and working there.
 

Program Curriculum


Comprised of four modules, the Body of Knowledge is defined through extensive research.  Highly customized for each destination, the learning material covers the important elements of tourism, regional attributes/attractions and customer service, as follows:

Module 1:  The Power of Tourism

Module 2:  Discovering Your Region

Module 3:  Knowing, Finding, Using Resources

Module 4:  Exceeding Customer Expectations

The curriculum is delivered through pre-class reading assignments and in-class participation. The interactive classroom setting makes it an interesting, fun way to expand their knowledge and their ability and confidence to answer visitor questions.  And, the Pre-Class Reading & Resource document becomes a valuable, handy tool to use to help visitors!


WHAT DESTINATIONS ARE SAYING

Anaheim Orange County VCB
The CTA Program enables us to raise the bar on both destination knowledge and customer service skills presented by all our frontline personnel. It ultimately helps to enhance the overall guest experience while developing a greater sense of pride among those who work in our destination. We have been fortunate to always maintain a great community here in Anaheim and Orange County, however, the national recognition provided by the CTA Program has and will continue to fuel the excitement of what we offer to all our visitors.

Charles Ahlers, President
Anaheim Orange County Visitor & Convention Bureau
