St. George’s, Grenada, -- March 8, 2007 - - Travel agents can learn and earn at their convenience with a brand new home-study course on Grenada, The Spice of the Caribbean, designed by Travel Agent Magazine. After completing the course successfully, agents can earn diplomas and educational credits plus qualify for bonuses, prizes and familiarization trips.

To participate, agents must visit the website at, www.tauniv.com and register.

Once agents have completed this part of the program, they will be asked a series of questions about Grenada as part of a “Final Exam.”

After passing the final exam, agents will qualify for valuable benefits including: automatic enrollment in Grenada Custom Rewards booking program, random drawing among graduates for a trip for two including hotel and confirmed air, special monthly gift drawings, priority invitation to familiarization trips, consumer referrals, Grenada Specialist graduate diploma, two Continuing Education Units from The Travel Institute for qualifying U.S. agents and one credit from the Canadian Institute of Travel Counsellors for qualifying Canadian agents.
