Insider tips and the latest developments in every training

With its e-learning portal etraveltraining.eu, The ETraining Company is the market leader in tourism learning content in the Netherlands and Belgium. Through dedicated portals, travel agency chains and tourism schools have access to more than 230 modules that help travel agents and students expand their destination knowledge. The editorial and production team is currently developing a large number of new destination modules, further expanding the portals of affiliated chains and schools, with one clear focus: knowledge that is truly up to date.

More than the basics

A destination never stands still. New hotels open, airlines launch new routes and neighbourhoods that were unknown for years suddenly become popular. That is why the new modules go beyond the standard basics of climate, accessibility and must-sees. Every training also includes:

•             insider tips from local experts and travel specialists

•             current developments, such as new connections, openings and trends

•             hidden gems and places off the beaten track

•             practical sales tips that can be used straight away in customer conversations

This allows travel agents and students to tell their customers something they have not already read online.

Innovation in format and technology

Not only the content but also the learning format is continuously being renewed. The new modules are visually rich, with videos, interactive maps and target-group cases that encourage participants to think actively about real-life situations. Each module ends with a final test featuring a variety of question types, such as image-click questions and statements, randomly selected from an extensive question database. In addition, existing modules are updated regularly, so that the complete offer in the knowledge centre stays current.

New destinations

Recently, new modules have been added on destinations including Albania, the Canary Islands and the Channel Islands (Jersey), as well as two brand-new modules on the Polish cities of Warsaw, Kraków, Gdańsk, Wrocław and Poznań.

In addition, a large number of short, practical Knowledge Boost modules were launched in September, covering current themes and developments at destinations. Examples include Germany’s UNESCO sites, the Czech wine regions, Thailand wellness and Visit Malaysia Year 2026. Before the end of the year, fast-growing destinations such as Vietnam, Japan and Canada will be added.

Advantage

“Destination knowledge goes out of date quickly. A portal only stays valuable if its content keeps pace with what is happening in the world. That is why we invest not only in new destinations, but also in insider tips and current information that give travel agents and students a real head start,” says Monique van Nieuwenhuijzen, director of The ETraining Company.
