The Travel Industry

The travel industry is booming - with new destinations, smarter technology, and more personalised experiences driving client expectations to new heights. With increasing demand for tailor-made holidays, expert advice and support with complex bookings, travel agents are more essential than ever.

Many experienced agents have left the industry in recent years creating a wealth of new opportunities for fresh talent. Travellers are turning to professionals for their knowledge, reassurance, and ability to create seamless, stress-free experiences. Whether it’s luxury escapes, multi-stop itineraries, or exclusive adventure tours, clients are looking for someone who can make it all happen with confidence and expertise.

It’s an exciting time to launch a career in travel - with plenty of opportunities to stand out, build a loyal client base, and enjoy a flexible and rewarding role in a vibrant industry.
