You are so excited to be starting your own travel agency franchise, still not believing what you are getting for under a $10,000 dollar franchise business investment. You are relieved that your solidified travel agency investment did not include "give me the cash" and leave you to make it a success all on your own as some startups do. Now, you are excited because school starts tomorrow…Cruise Planners/American Express, Travel Agent University Program.

You have an undergraduate degree with those courses. Last year, CPU included the MBA and PhD level of courses that teaches how to charter a ship, how to provide mobile marketing, how to maximize group revenue, and today, the most important tool of social media marketing, and you even learn about exotic destinations, which can only add to your offerings to your clients.
