INTRODUCING...
WHAT EXACTLY IS LEAD AMAZING TOURS?
An online, video-based training program created and designed by world-class tour guide trainers, trip development experts and tourism marketing specialists. Our learning software and lessons are hosted completely online, so no installing programs and no large file downloads.
WHAT AM I GOING TO LEARN IN THIS PROGRAM?
The quick answer? You’ll receive a step-by-step system to give unforgettable experiences, get rave reviews and earn more customers. It will give you the tools you need to consistently hone and polish your tour and activity offerings, plus share the best practices of some of the most successful tour companies on the planet. It’s all about helping you build, sustain and grow a successful tour and activity business.
We also know that when you’re making an investment in your company, it’s important to know what you’re getting. That’s why we share our exact curriculum — so you can make sure this program is right for you. See below for a complete description of our lessons.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Our Lead Amazing Tours program is accessed by a one-time payment (or multi-month payment plan), which will then give you lifetime access to the materials. After registering, you’ll instantly be taken inside of the learning portal. There is no set schedule or ‘dripped’ content, so you’ll be able to learn at your own pace and focus on whichever lessons you choose.
WILL MY MEMBERSHIP EXPIRE?
Nope! Lifetime access means no expiry. Not only will you be able to revist these materials as much as you like, but you’ll also automatically receive any new training materials, lesson updates or program improvements into the future.
