    The Greater Palm Springs Tourism Ambassador program held four CTA enrollment classes in October, including a private class for participants of this year’s Greater Palm Springs Restaurant Week. The program has certified 391 CTAs to date. In addition to the ongoing partner freebies and discounts offered on CTANetwork.com, CTAs had the opportunity to attend their first shareGPS event at Libation Room in Palm Desert. The shareGPS events are mixers exclusive to CTAs, where attendees can enjoy complimentary refreshments and talk with others about what is going on at their particular properties, venues, etc., to share new information or best practices. We also kicked off our CTA Monthly Newsletter, dispersed to over 300 current CTAs. 

    In the months of November and December, the CVB is scheduled to host three public classes and two private classes: one for the Renaissance Palm Springs Hotel staff and the other for the El Paseo Business Improvement District businesses. We are currently booking for 2020 private classes. 

    Individual registration for the CTA program is $49. Private group classes start at just $600 for up to 20 people, additional students $30 each. You can learn more about the program at our CTA website.
