Cultural adventure specialist Inside Travel announced the launch of its first series of agent webinars focused on building destination knowledge and sales confidence for cultural adventures to Japan, Korea and Thailand.

The four-part webinar series is part of Inside Travel's Agent Insider Program, which launched earlier this year. Travel advisors need to complete just one webinar to qualify for the program and become eligible to win a cultural adventure valued at $25,000 or one of 10 places on a small-group tour.

"At Inside Travel, we value our trade network immensely as they are crucial partners and advocates for our tour products to their clients," said Aaron Kuehn, director of trade sales for the U.S. market at Inside Travel. "The chance to engage with our advisors directly through these webinars is an invaluable opportunity to showcase how Inside Travel stands out among the industry, while also enhancing the destination knowledge of our advisors."

The webinar schedule includes four sessions, each expected to run approximately 45 minutes. The "How to Sell Japan" session will take place Wednesday, May 28, focusing on Japan's cultural experiences and local life. "Thailand Beyond the Beaches" follows on Tuesday, June 10, covering unique trip add-ons like jungle treks, tropical islands and elephant sanctuaries. The "South Korea 101" webinar is scheduled for Thursday, June 26, exploring K-Pop culture and other South Korean cultural elements. The final session, "Japan vs Korea," will be held Wednesday, July 9, addressing cross-selling strategies and joint trip bookings.
