Caitlin Pfitzinger Travel is a graduate of the Virtuoso® Certified Travel Advisor (VCTA) program, an accomplishment that places this agency in an elite category within the travel industry. Designed to fast-track the development of those who are new to the travel advising profession or the Virtuoso network, the intensive VCTA program boasts a strong record of catapulting newcomers into million-dollar producers, as graduates sell an average of 74 percent more than their peers. This increased production leads to strengthened relationships with Virtuoso’s preferred partners and increased industry clout, which translates to better travel experiences for clients. Only advisors affiliated with agencies belonging to the leading global luxury travel network Virtuoso are eligible for certification through the innovative program, which has set new standards in service and professionalism for the industry.

The five-day VCTA course focuses on enhancing client service and sparking creativity through a comprehensive curriculum designed to build, apply and reinforce knowledge. The program includes 10 hours of coursework before an in-person training, and six months of follow-up coaching and personal communication. Advisors graduate with the competitive edge needed to reach new heights of success and stand shoulder to shoulder with others who have extensive industry experience. Armed with increased knowledge of the offerings and advantages available through their Virtuoso affiliation and global industry relationships that make all the difference in how their clients can experience the world, VCTA graduates walk away with a personalized plan to better manage their business.

Looking forward to the upcoming year in a big way! We are thrilled to announce a new collaborative partnership with one of the leaders in the luxury travel industry. Check back soon for the big announcement!
