Peru Travel Training
PROMPERÚ's official online training hub for travel agents — built to inspire, educate, and equip professionals selling Peru as a world-class travel destination.
Overview
PROMPERÚ, the official tourism board of Peru, partnered with Black Diamond’s Mogul team to develop an international eLearning platform designed to educate and certify travel agents across three core markets: Australia, Japan, and Korea.
The goal was to create a unified, content-rich portal that would showcase the beauty, diversity, and unique appeal of Peru — empowering agents to confidently recommend and sell the destination to their clients.
The Challenge
PROMPERÚ needed a scalable multi-language platform to serve geographically distinct audiences with tailored content. It had to incorporate rich media, modular learning tracks, and assessments — all while tracking progress and certification status per agent.
The Solution
The Mogul team designed and built an engaging eLearning platform that acted as a central hub for all travel agent training. My responsibilities on the backend included:
- RESTful API Design: Developed backend services to manage course modules, user enrollments, and certification workflows.
- Localization Support: Integrated multi-language capabilities for Australian English, Japanese, and Korean content delivery.
- User Progress Tracking: Implemented backend logic to monitor lesson completion, quiz performance, and automated certification.
- Security: Ensured all user data and platform operations adhered to privacy and authentication standards.
- Content Delivery: Optimized the backend for high performance video and image-based content delivery across global regions.
Results
The platform launched in January 2018 and quickly became a trusted tool for PROMPERÚ’s global agent engagement strategy. Dozens of agents across Asia and Australia completed the training, enhancing Peru’s visibility and credibility as a bucket-list destination.
