Oasis Travel Network introduced OTN Academy, a rejuvenated version of its New to Travel program designed for new travel advisors entering the travel industry.

The program offers tools and information through “a structured, guided training experience that provides new advisors with the education, industry access and support needed to confidently launch a travel business,” Oasis Travel Network said.

It can typically take between 60 to 70 hours to complete.

“You don’t need experience to succeed in travel – you need the right foundation,” said Chelsea Martinez, member development and industry engagement manager at Oasis Travel Network.

“OTN Academy was created to give new advisors clarity, confidence, and a realistic path forward as they enter the industry,” she added, noting that it was formulated with input from created with input from The Travel Institute, ASTA and CLIA.

Oasis, which is a CLIA Hall of Fame Travel Agency of the Year for 2025, also captured a Travel Weekly Magellan Award for its previous New to Travel program.

“Current Oasis Travel Network members may also offer OTN Academy to their associate advisors who are new to travel,” the host agency said.
