Discover Dominica Authority Launches New OTT Destination Training Course for Travel Advisors

Course strengthens destination knowledge among travel professionals in key international markets

– Discover Dominica Authority (DDA) has launched a new destination training course on Online Travel Training (OTT), an online training and marketing platform for the travel and tourism industry. The course gives travel advisors access to specialized destination knowledge and resources to strengthen their ability to promote and sell Dominica.

“Travel advisors are important partners in connecting travelers with Dominica, particularly in our key source markets. This new course allows us to deepen their knowledge of the destination while expanding our reach among travel professionals who can confidently recommend Dominica to their clients,” said Marva Williams, CEO of Discover Dominica Authority.

Currently available on the OTT U.S. and UK platforms, the self-paced course covers Dominica’s seven tourism pillars: Adventure, Health & Wellness, Romance, Aqua, Culture - Events & Entertainment, Agro and Kalinago. The training provides advisors with practical destination knowledge they can use to develop recommendations and itineraries tailored to their clients.

The course introduces advisors to key Dominican experiences, including rainforests, rivers and waterfalls, volcanic terrain, world-class diving and marine experiences, wellness offerings and cultural and community-based experiences.

Participants who successfully complete the course receive a Certificate of Completion, recognizing their destination knowledge and preparedness to recommend Dominica to clients.

DDA will promote the course to travel professionals in the United Kingdom, United States and Canada, with the course expected to become available on OTT’s France and Germany platforms soon. The expansion forms part of DDA’s broader strategy to strengthen travel trade education and grow the network of advisors equipped to sell Dominica internationally.
