Every year, tens of thousands of people around the globe watch major events on television and say to themselves...

"Wow! How cool would it be to be there!" 

 

And as a group travel planner, you've probably had a similar thought...

"Wow! How cool would it be to take a group of people there!" 

 

If this is you, keep reading...

 

Whether its music festivals like Essence or Coachella, or major awards shows like the Oscars or the BET Awards. Or maybe its New Years Eve in Time Square or Carnival in the Caribbean or South America. What about major NBA, NFL, MLB or NHL sporting events, or even better, championship and showcase events like the Super Bowl, NBA All-Star Weekend or The World Series... 

 

whatever the event...  

 

PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR YOU TO TELL THEM THEY CAN GO... 

(MEANING YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE RICH OR A CELEBRITY)

...AND THEN THEY NEED YOU TO MAKE IT HAPPEN!

 

 

 

MYTHS DISPELLED

 

 

"Only celebrities can attend major events like these!"
The truth is, while celebrities do attend these events, most major event organizers have pre-planned experiences exclusively for the fans!

 

"There's no way my people could ever afford tickets to events like these!"
You'd be surprised at the ways you can make attending an affordable experience that your clients will never forget!

 

"I'm sure I won't be able to find a hotel close by!"
With proper planning, you can put your people right in the center of the action for the experience of a lifetime!

 

"So, just where are these people that want to go to these major events?"
Because these are majorly publicized, already popular events, people are already looking for you! You just need to know how to meet them where they are! 

MAJOR EVENTS ARE PERFECT FOR YOU IF:


>>  You are just starting out in the travel industry and want to build your list and make your mark, FAST!

 

>>  You have been in the travel industry for a minute, but you want to add your first group with people who are ready to travel, NOW!

 

>>  You've planned group travel before, but you want to plan and host a group trip that is really going to TURN HEADS!

 

>>  You're a seasoned group travel professional, but you've never taken groups to a major event and you want to KILL IT... IN A GOOD WAY!

 

>>  There's an event you attend every year, and every year, more people want to go with you! (You might as well make it legit!)

I Built My Group Travel Business on Major Events!

 

Hi! I'm Tamika C. Carter, founder of the Group Travel Academy. 

 

But before I started teaching people how to build and operate a successful group travel business, I built a successful group travel business of my own! And I built it primarily with group travel to major events! In fact, my business could have sustained itself on just two trips a year... the Essence Music Festival and NBA All-Star weekend! But I also took groups to Reggae Sumfest in Jamaica, the Soul Beach Music Festival in Aruba, and more!

 

I created "Mastering Group Travel to Major Events" to help you be successful when it comes to taking groups to the major events of your choice! 

 

This 6-module training program will be an easy-to-follow, step-by-step system for growing your group travel business with major events!
