Hi Cherie, I hope this finds you well! I just wanted to thank you again for your wonderful course, and your continuing support. Not only did I get interviews with 3 companies right off the bat after completing "Professional Tour Management Training" several years ago, but I landed a job with a company who I've escorted tours with for the last 7 seasons, and have worked locally in destination management since then as well.
When I recently decided I would like to get something a little more "full time" and sent out résumés, the response was very fast! I have 2 upcoming interviews with major tour companies, one at the corporate headquarters! Your training really did prepare me with the skills I needed to enter the exciting world of Tour Management, and your continued support and generosity with your time and expertise has been invaluable. Thank you again (and again) for all you do! Cherie ROCKS! Sincerely, Robin R
"Cherie Anderson is a vivacious, detail-oriented, multi-cultural, superior tour director who eagerly shares her passion for travel and her vast knowledge of our world. Not only is Cherie a tireless champion of the travel and tourism industry but also an approachable, sincere teacher always generous with her time and expertise. Her "Tour Director Training Guide: Get Paid to Travel" should be on every travel agent's, tour operator's, and prospective tour director's/guide's book shelf. It was a real treat for us and our listeners to have Cherie on our radio show "Travel Talk: Escapes."" February 28, 2009
Cherie Anderson's course, Professional Tour Management Training, has changed my life! The tools she provides will help get you noticed and in the door. I Landed my first job soon after I graduated. Such a small investment in her wonderful class has yielded such big results. I now work full-time as a professional tour director and port lecturer for a cruise line. I am seeing the world and am loving every minute of it. Elizabeth Moran [email protected] Hello Cherie,
I hope this email finds you in good health and in good spirits. I wanted to let you know how helpful your course has been for me. I paid attention to your advice and was very persistent and followed through using your methods. I am now working in San Diego for 4 DMC's as a guide/field staff and as a tour director for a motor coach tour operator guiding day trips in So. Cal and into Baja. I will do my first 7 day motor coach tour in May! I am still guiding my own wine tours in Baja for Carnival. Anyway, thanks again for your wisdom and excellent instruction. Su amigo, Steve Dryden [email protected]

The impending generational shift is important for associations, whose members and leaders have been Baby Boomers, according to Lisa Simon, NTA president. "As Boomers phase out of the workplace, associations will rely on Gen X and Gen Y," said Simon. "And because young professionals engage differently, the NTA board knows it's important to understand their needs in order to meet their expectations." The Millennials session, held Monday during a board meeting in Lancaster, Pa., included a focus-group discussion and a presentation from board member Cathleen Johnson of Edelman, a global public relations firm whose research on Millennials has powerful implications for the travel and tourism industry, including the following:
o Millenials travel in groups but don't think of it as "group travel"; they're simply seeking shared experiences. o Their travel is focused on how they will change the world; good works is a way of life for Millennials. o Sustainability is not merely important to Millennials-it's necessary. "One of the most enlightening points is that Millennials like traveling in groups and they expect value for their investment," said Simon. "That means they want two of the most common and important ingredients that packaged travel has to offer: camaraderie and value."
