Travelmedia Launches Introduction to Travel and Tourism Course in DVD and Distance Learning Editions for Libraries and Individuals

"Travel and Tourism: Opening Doors for Your Future" Offers Positive,
Comprehensive View of the Industry for People Entering the Workforce and
Career-Changers
MILL VALLEY, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Travelmedia announced today the release of DVD and e-Learning editions of
"Travel and Tourism: Opening Doors for Your Future"
(http://learntravelandtourism.com), an interactive course that introduces the
Travel and Tourism industry as a serious career path to high school or
entry-level college students, newcomers to the workforce or those seeking a new
career. The course is loaded with timely information about the travel industry,
its history, sustainable tourism, future trends, its various sectors, and the
wide variety of career opportunities it offers.

These are self-paced courses for libraries and job-seekers and successors to the
1994 "World of Many Faces" video and workbook, which have been used in
universities, schools and companies around the world.

Library/Personal Edition

The Library/Personal Edition, available on DVD and priced at US$90, includes the
same content as the US$280 Academic Edition released earlier this year, but
without interactive study questions and customizable instructor's tools. The
Library/Personal Edition is designed as an affordable self-paced learning
program, available to students through libraries, and for teachers who can use
its ten modules as audio visual aids to supplement their own classes.

"We are now providing the DVD edition in response to many calls from librarians
who want to offer a lower-priced version of our program for personal or
individual student use without the customizable teaching tools of the Academic
Edition," says Russell Johnson, president of Travelmedia.

e-Learning Edition

The e-Learning Edition, available on the Web in high definition Flash video,
offers the same content as the Library/Personal Edition plus a Testing Center,
where students can challenge their knowledge. It is available online for US$35.

"Unlike typical static text and graphics-based programs, ours features
highly-motivational videos photographed around the world," Johnson added.

All versions have been updated and expanded for 2009-10 and are updated
regularly.
