Experience Hub, the trade and promotion arm of Yas Island Abu Dhabi. Has enrolled more than 7,000 travel agents into its distinguished ‘Yas Expert’ programme. A destination training and certification program for travel professionals and agents. Among the 7,000 enrolled, more than 5,000 travel agents have already received certification. And been recognised as a Yas Expert, joining an elite team of specialists. With enhanced knowledge of the destination and all it has to offer.
Throughout the pandemic period, Experience Hub has been virtually engaging with travel trade in key source markets including UK, Russia, China, India and GCC. And training them online to assure continuous product knowledge in preparation for gradual market re-openings.
In the GCC, which has seen more than 500 agents enrolled, Yas Expert works with entities such as Seera, Jumbo Travels, Fursan Travel. And many more to create Y. Island Brand Ambassadors, a network of people who are able to drive visitation to the island globally.
