Avoya Travel has unveiled Our Travel Academy, a white-label education solution designed to help new travel advisors gain knowledge and expertise, filling the current gap in standardized education for industry newcomers.

The new platform was inspired by and built from Avoya Travel Academy's existing model. According to Avoya, its Travel Academy students complete their certification 31% faster than with other programs, with a 60% reduction in affiliation time. Notably, graduates achieve 50% higher closing rates and earn 50% higher commissions compared to peers without foundational education.

Developed by sales and education experts with more than 125 years of combined experience, Our Travel Academy offers audio and video learning formats, requiring only one-time setup for agencies. The platform allows travel agencies to brand the educational content with their own identity.
