Florida Travel Academy Doubles in Size

The Tourico Holidays Travel Academy, in Orlando, Florida, has received more than 7,200 total applicants, including 1,550 from Ivy League graduates, in just two years of existence. Of the massive candidate pool, only 187 students, or 2%, have been accepted into the program, so the company plans to increase its capacity. Tourico just announced that it will double the size of its in-house training program in 2016 to over 280 students and to a total of 750 students per year by 2018. With an overall graduate retention rate of 91%, new academy hires are spurring dramatic company growth.

The Tourico Travel Academy, which launched in January of 2014, provides career-oriented professionals with valuable industry knowledge, technology experience, and business negotiation skills that are taught personally by company executives. Accepted students to the Academy receive a base pay during the 10-week course, full benefits, housing, a meal plan, and laptops. Upon completion of the program, graduates have the opportunity to join the global travel wholesaler and be a part of a Billion dollar company that has offices throughout the world.

The CEO and Founder of Tourico, Uri Argov, explains, “after an overwhelming number of extremely competitive applicants, coming from top schools across the world, we realized that we were in a strong position to increase the capacity of our in-house program – and continue to fuel company growth. By 2018, we will be welcoming 750 skilled travel professionals a year into the company – all of which will have an intimate understanding of Tourico’s internal operations.”
