The certification of agencies as school trip travel specialists is the result of many years' cooperation with the agencies that have maintained a focus on this market segment. The goal of the specialization is to facilitate the selection of travel agencies: tour operators for youth and student travel in such a way that we can present, in one place, all the specialists that guarantee professionalism and a high level of service. Early in 2011, a working group was formed within the UHPA. This team of experts, comprising experienced employees of our active members, was tasked with the preparation of the criteria for travel-agency specialization as organizers of excursions and travel packages for children and youth, i.e., school tourism. Thus the platform was established in early 2012, and it was confirmed as such by the Board of Directors and the Assembly of the UHPA. In order to meet the aforementioned criteria, the agencies had to prove their past and current business activities as well as the competence of their staff and associates. It didn't end there, however. The agencies must continue with further education, development and innovation of agency programs and corporate social responsibility. They must also be active in the councils of the Tourist Board. Accordingly, these experts are signatories to a special Code of Ethics that requires the agencies to act in accordance with the rules of the profession and to maintain a professional, responsible attitude toward their customers, colleagues and suppliers.
