The Puerto Vallarta Specialist program from the Travel Agent Academy is your secret weapon to becoming a destination expert and selling powerhouse.

The free training is straightforward and engaging, helping you dive deeper into the food, culture, history and attractions of the charming and lively beachside city.

In each chapter, you’ll explore an aspect of Puerto Vallarta to help you learn about all the destination has to offer your clients. The welcoming community is a favourite for families, couples, 2SLGBTQ+ travellers, foodies, and art/culture enthusiasts — and you’ll find activities that appeal to each of the different traveller demographics.

You’ll learn about the neighbourhoods and various zones in town, and how to match your clients interests with the right area and accommodations for their needs. 

If you have clients interested in exploring Puerto Vallarta’s natural beauty, this course will ensure you know where to direct clients to the best ways to enjoy it on land or from the water, and of course, where to go to find the best beaches. 

As a romance destination, Puerto Vallarta is tough to beat. That’s why it’s a popular place for weddings and honeymoons. The Puerto Vallarta Travel Specialist program also outlines some of the many options available for putting together weddings to remember, as well as other group events.

If you choose to continue your learning pathway with the Loreto, La Paz and Baja California travel specialist courses, you’ll be eligible for a Mexico Specialist designation, which includes a branding you can add to your email signature and share on social media. 

Become a Puerto Vallarta Travel Specialist today by enrolling on the website. The free training will deepen your knowledge about the destination and give you more confidence to sell vacations that match your clients’ needs exactly, making you a Puerto Vallarta powerhouse.
