Immersion by WorldVia Academy
Groups Are Where the Revenue Is
Group travel is the highest-revenue category in this industry—and the least taught. Growing with Groups puts it in one live classroom, taught by partners who sell groups for a living.
The Five Skills
Everything It Takes to Run a Group
Running a group comes down to five things. Growing with Groups teaches all five, in order, with the partners who do it every day.
02
Price
Build a price that covers your costs, your time, and your margin.
03
Contract
Read group contracts, know which terms matter, and protect your business.
04
Sell
Promote the group, fill it, and register travelers without chasing every payment.
05
Service
Run the group day to day, from deposits and rooming lists to the day they travel.
Who It’s For
Wherever You Are With Groups
You’re Thinking About Your First Group
You know groups are where the revenue is. You want the process, the contracts, and the confidence before you say yes to one.
You Ran One the Hard Way
You’ve pulled a group together before, and you know there’s a better process. You want to run the next one on purpose.
Your Next Group Is Already in Your Client List
Most groups don’t start as groups. They start as one client with a reason to bring people along.
How It Works
A Live Classroom, Not a Webinar
Taught Live
WorldVia Academy leads every session, with partners teaching alongside. Ask questions about your real groups as you go.
Partners Who Sell Groups
Learn how partners structure group space, pricing, and terms, directly from the people who do it for a living.
A Workbook You Keep
A printed workbook with sample contracts, so you follow along with real terms and keep it on your desk for the next group.

Questions
Good to Know Before You Register
Who is Growing with Groups for?
Advisors who know group travel is where the revenue is but don’t yet feel ready to run one, and advisors who have already run a group the hard way and know there’s a better process.
I’ve never run a group. Should I come?
Yes. You learn the whole process from first inquiry to final delivery, with sample contracts in hand, so your first group starts with a plan.
I’ve already run groups. Will I still get something out of it?
Yes. Advisors who already run groups use Immersion to tighten pricing and contracts, learn how partners structure group space, and stop rebuilding the process every time.
What is an Immersion?
Immersion is WorldVia Academy’s multi-day format: several live days on one subject, taught with the partners who know it best.
Why are there different editions?
Some classes cover groups across every category, including cruise, resort, tour, land, and air. Others go deep on one category, like the Cruise Edition. Each class lists its focus and agenda with its dates.
Is it live?
Yes. Every session is taught live. The format for each class (live virtual, in person, or both) is listed under Next Session at the top of this page.
What comes with registration?
Live education with WorldVia Academy and partners, plus a printed workbook with sample contracts. Recordings are available for a limited time after each class.
