Just five hours from Australia’s east coast and across the glistening Pacific lies Samoa –the Treasured Islands of the South Pacific.

Blessed with stunning land and seascapes, Samoa is considered the heart of Polynesia and boasts a 3,000 year old way of life called Fa’a Samoa.  

With travellers to Samoa increasing, Samoa Tourism Authority recognizes there is an urgent need for agents to brush up on their Samoa product knowledge.

By registering at www.travelacademy.com.au, agents will receive valuable product updates and training on Samoa, at their convenience, and at no cost.

“We have received an SOS from our agents asking for more information about Samoa,” says Adele Leathan of Samoa Tourism Authority.

According to Adele, “the general public have seen the increased advertising, their interest is peaking and then they ask the agents for more information.  Most people would like to talk to someone whose product knowledge they trust.  Travel Academy empowers agents allowing them to sell the destination with confidence and authority.”
 
Once logged into Travel Academy, agents are required to complete seven modules, covering destination facts, culture, various activities, how to sell to the bridal and conference market as well as practical information on various properties and facilities.

“The training modules have been designed to help agents sell and to answer the general questions a client may have on Samoa. It’s about making sure that the agent is a step ahead of their customer,” says Adele.

Travel Academy is designed to compliment the eBlast program, which agents can access via www.samoatourism.com.au as well as www.samoa.tourism, www.facebook.com/SamoaTourismAuthority and www.twitter.com/SamoaTourism.
