There's so much to learn with promoting, booking, planning, and managing destination weddings! Your clients will range from eloping couples to mega-ceremonies with a dozen attendants and 100+ guests. You'll handle reservations for guests traveling from many different gateways. Your couples may use on-site wedding services from the resort or ship, they may prefer off-site vendors (including friends and family), or they may want ceremonies conducted completely off site. And, don't forget about day passes and spa appointments and hurricane worries and every other challenge that may crop up (including COVID-19!) ...

In this summer 2022 course, you'll master the secrets of building your profitable DW business with these lessons.

On Monday, Sept. 12, we'll open the course to you. Here's what you'll find:

• 13 pre-recorded modules featuring some of the most successful top-selling members of the Destination Wedding & Honeymoon Specialists Association (DWHSA) - the world's largest network of romance travel advisors and planners. Each module will also include extra videos and resource materials you can use immediately in your own business - everything from sample client agreements for your DW couples and tips for booking room blocks to encouraging DW guests to book through you and maximizing commissions and service fees on every DW group. You may take the lessons in these modules at your own pace - you'll have access to everything through Dec. 16, 2022.
• Throughout the summer, we'll schedule live Q&A calls (using Zoom) featuring our instructors who can help you with quick answers as you go through these lessons.
• And, before the end of 2022, we'll host a "catch up" session so you can ask more questions once you've begun putting your new knowledge to work in your business!
