Job Description

As a home working travel consultant, you have your own business which you manage and do much of the general activities: arranging holidays, developing tours etc.

You may employ other specialists to deal with certain functions e.g. collecting payment, arranging insurance packages, marketing services, dealing with bureau de change transactions. How many additional employees you have in the business will depend on the type and level of your business and the prices customers are willing to pay.

As the expert you will be developing holiday or travel packages for your clients. You must also find time to liaise with tour operators, so that you keep up-to-date with what is available and can pass on customer comments and special requests. Keeping a check on your accounts and sales figures is essential; on a monthly, weekly or even daily basis. Money and cheques accepted for deposits and bookings must be kept safely and banked regularly, and credit card transactions monitored so that there are no problems with invalid cards - it is your business, and therefore your money. You will also liaise with tour operators over promotional programmes for various holidays and travel deals.
