Down Under Answers has partnered with MAST to offer you the opportunity to participate in a special MAST members-only dedicated training workshop. The MASTer Advisor Program was simply designed for the agencies that want more: to become more educated about a certain supplier, opportunities to learn more to assist you on your way to becoming a travel specialist, learn about more perks to offer your clients, and gain more benefits for yourself and your agency.
 

This year we have turned the MASTer Advisor Program, as you know it, into a live, 1-day workshop with a virtual component, called M.A.P. Live. Travel Advisors will have the opportunity to complete the program all in one day with hands on assistance!
