Travel Uni is extending its long-standing partnership with Selling Long Haul by creating a joint venture with Travel Weekly. As part of the landmark agreement, Travel Weekly will migrate its existing TWacademy courses and info zones into the Travel Uni system. The merger will result in a 97-strong

promoted across Selling Long Haul, Selling Short Breaks & Holidays, supplements and
www.sellinglonghaul.com as well as in Travel Weekly’s portfolio of magazines and websites. Sally Oakey, associate director of Travel
Uni, said: "This is fantastic recognition for the eight years of hard work and investment we have made in the Travel Uni software. "Our sister publication, Selling Long
Haul, has been providing quality training material to the travel industry for the past 20 years and this new partnership will help us build on this further by

Travel Weekly, said the partnership would offer an unbeatable training product for both travel agents and suppliers. “We looked at our existing training
offering, and carried out extensive market research to explore ways to improve on it and deliver the very best product for the industry,” he said. “It quickly became apparent to us that
Travel Uni’s online functionality and support far outstripped anything else that's out there in the market, and the chance to ally that outstanding product with the industry’s biggest media brand was too good to miss.”
