The course has been designed by Alchemist Travel co-founders Steph Wetherell, Jo Hendry-Prior and Lauren Raps

A luxury travel agency has launched a new training programme for aspiring advisors after noticing a “talent gap” in the market.

Founded by Alchemist Travel, Alchemist Academy will be Singapore’s first educational course ‘established to professionalise and future-proof careers in luxury travel.’

The virtual programme – which is open to people all over the world – will cover everything from sales and marketing fundamentals to designing bespoke itineraries. It will also teach participants how to navigate back-end systems, such as the GDS, as well as how to manage relationships with suppliers and meet the demands of high-net-worth clients.
