WELLESLEY, Mass.
-- The Travel Institute laid off five of its 13 employees at the
end of 2004 after an analysis of sales results showed support from
the large travel vendor market was not as strong as forecast.
Support remained
strong, the Institute said, among individuals and retail travel
agencies for specialist educational programs as well as
certification, membership and testing.
Staff cuts were
made in the business development, marketing communications and
program development areas.
The operation is
managed by Maureen Kennedy, executive vice president and general
manager, and Pat Gagnon, director of product
development.
