Marc Mancini Class Descriptions
10 Destinations You’ve Never
Thought Of
One
of the ways to impress a client is to tell them about places
and attractions that are off the beaten track yet provide
a unique tourist experience. Marc not only tells us about
his 10 favorite leisure destinations you’ve never heard of, but how to find those kinds of places for yourself. This seminar – which Marc is preparing just for us – will show you how to see the beauty in the unexpected!
How to Design Exceptional Itineraries
Creating outstanding itineraries isn’t just a skill-it’s an art. And it’s an art that’s
immensely useful in all segments of the travel industry. This seminar will reveal
fifteen tricks of the itinerary-planning trade that can
help you design anything from a clever FIT to a large group
departure.
Freud on Tour: the Psychology of Managing a Tour
Tour escorts are a rare breed: independent yet loyal, outgoing
yet organized, entertaining yet attentive to detail. Moreover,
they must deal with the powerful, subtle and oftentimes
peculiar behavior of a group on tour. This seminar will
provide those of you who are operating and perhaps escorting
your own groups with dozens of useful strategies that will
help you conduct a tour just like a veteran tour manager.
And if you are a seasoned tour manager, this presentation
will help you gain deep insights to better your on-the-job
performance.
