Singapore Tourism Launches Specialist Program

The Singapore Tourism Board launched an online program to familiarize travel agents in the U.S. and Canada with the island nation. The Singapore Specialist program is an informative, interactive and useful way for travel agents to learn about and sell Singapore.

The first 500 agents who pass the exam will receive a $50 Gift Card. All travel agents who register for the program, study the lessons and pass the online exam will become certified Singapore Specialists.

Benefits to agents for joining the program include receiving continuing education credits; a Singapore Specialist Pack, containing a Singapore Specialist certificate and Singapore collateral materials; and a quarterly e-newsletter with news and opportunities for specialists, and other incentives.

The two top-selling agents also stand to win a trip for two to Singapore. The winners will be announced in early 2009.
