Education
Education is the foundation for the existence of the
Central Florida Business Travel Association. CFBTA was
founded in 1989 by a group of travel industry leaders
that wanted to raise the knowledge and professionalism
of those individuals whose careers were in managing or
selling travel related services. Each of our monthly
meetings is designed to provide current, leading edge
information to our membership, and to create a
comfortable social environment where networking and
peer recognition can be accomplished informally.
Training
As an affiliate of the National Business Travel
Association, CFBTA supports and recognizes the
professional education programs they offer. Currently,
training is focused in 4 concentrated areas:
