This summer has been an incredible period of growth and engagement for Online Travel Training (OTT). Over 2,500 new users joined our platform globally—a fantastic achievement that reflects the ever-growing interest in continuous learning within the travel industry! I’m thrilled to report that engagement on the platform reached new heights, with a remarkable 162% increase in courses completed. This surge in learning is a testament to the commitment of travel professionals who are keen to enhance their knowledge, sharpen their skills, and stay ahead of the latest industry trends.

Webinars and Learning Opportunities

Throughout July, we maintained a strong lineup of webinars, which were consistently well-attended, with over 100 participants joining each session in the UK alone! It was fantastic to see such enthusiasm for learning during what is typically a quieter time of year. While participation naturally slowed down a bit in August, the momentum we've built this summer speaks volumes about the value of the training and resources available on OTT.
