Middletown, Pa.—Jonathan Snavely, Business Development Manager of Premiere #1 Limousine, recently received his Certified Travel Industry Specialist (CTIS) certification at the American Bus Association’s (ABA) Marketplace 2014.
The American Bus Association (ABA) created the Certified Travel Industry Specialist (CTIS) Program to provide an opportunity for members of the industry to gain practical business and industry-specific knowledge to build a strong business reputation. These continuing education programs were created exclusively for those involved with motorcoaches and group travel. ABA has partnered with Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), and its correspondence courses are administered by the university’s highly acclaimed professional staff.
“CTIS certification is a mark of excellence that you carry with you everywhere you go. As a new member to the motorcoach and group travel industry, it was important to show fellow members that I was serious about learning more about the industry. Being a CTIS graduate definitely sets me apart from my colleagues and strengthens my commitment to the motorcoach and group travel industry,” says Snavely.
