New Course: Get Paid to Travel

LAKE FOREST, CA (PRWeb) March 21, 2007 -- Cherie Anderson, the owner of Professional Tour Management Training and the author of the, "Tour Director Training Guide," is now offering her extensive training online. If you love travel, people and making a good income, the course, "Get Paid to Travel," may offer the career you've always wanted. The course trains tour directors and guides for local, domestic and international tours. You may be on an African safari one week and cruising the Seven Seas the next.

Up until now the training was limited and difficult to find. "Get Paid to Travel," is offered online through over 1,200 colleges in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Guam. "I've tried to include everything you need to be successful and get hired. Travel and tourism is the largest and fastest growing industry in the world and yet most people know very little of the extensive opportunities it offers," said Cherie Anderson. "The average income for an experienced international and domestic tour director is $250 to $400 per day," Ms. Anderson continued.

Cherie has been leading tours and cruises throughout the world since 1984. In 1993 she introduced tour management training to the colleges in Southern California. Her past students are now leading tours throughout the world. She stresses the need for training since most colleges and private schools offer travel agent courses only. Their skills are very different. The tour director is traveling over the road with the tour group, not in the office selling the tours and making reservations.

This is also a career where age is often an asset. In the past, tour directors were young men right out of college. Today, approximately 60% of the tour directors are women. There is still a need for young people in tourism but many of the tour directors have had other careers, are retired and have grown children. There's a place for everyone. The main concern of the tour operator is ability, not age.

"Get Paid to Travel," offers the opportunity to learn from a seasoned professional. A new six week course is offered online each month. You'll learn how to get hired and be part of the travel industry today.
