What changes when you sell travel online.

Travel and aviation isn't one business. Selling a tour, a seat, cargo space and a private jet each needs a different plan. These are the 08 things this track teaches you to handle.

01

Source markets

India, Russia, China, the UK and the Gulf search on different platforms, in different languages, at different times.

VKWeChatSnapchatGoogle
02

Booking windows & seasons

Some markets book months ahead, others last minute. Your low season is someone else's holiday.

03

Long research journeys

Travellers compare for weeks across search, reviews, video and travel sites. You plan for every stop.

04

Fares, routes & seats

Route launches, fare sales and filling quiet flights. Performance marketing measured in revenue, not likes.

05

B2B buyers

Air cargo, corporate travel and trade partners buy differently. LinkedIn, search, account-based plans and long relationships.

06

Premium & private flyers

Charter and business aviation sell to very few, very valuable buyers. Discreet, trust-first, referral-driven.

07

Partners & distribution

Travel agents, online travel sites, GSAs and tourism boards. When to sell direct, and when to co-market.

08

Reviews & trust

Ratings, safety and fast replies decide bookings. Reputation is part of the media plan.

Platform habits shift by market and over time. The track teaches you how to check, not just what's true today.

Questions people ask.

Anything else, ask me on WhatsApp.

I work in a hotel. Is this for me?

Most of it will be useful, but the examples are built around tour operators, airlines and destination marketing, not hotel revenue management.

Do I need to know VK or WeChat already?

No. You learn how to research and plan for each market, including platforms you've never opened.

I'm in air cargo. Isn't this all consumer marketing?

No. B2B buyers like freight forwarders get their own sessions: LinkedIn, search and account-based planning.

When are the classes?

Once a week, live online. You'll get the exact day and time with your intake details.

How do I pay?

Monthly. LKR 30,000 a month for 04 months, no lump sum up front.

Ready to plan travel the way it actually sells?

Tell me what you sell and where you sell it. I'll tell you which intake fits.
