The Travel Industry

Travel is on the move again and with it comes a high demand for travel agents. The industry has lost nearly one third of its travel agents and this means lots of employment and business opportunities are on offer right now. Before the pandemic, 70% of Australia’s international travel was booked through a travel agent and this is now rising dramatically as travel becomes more complex. Travellers who would normally make their own bookings on the Internet are now seeking expert advice, support and reassurance from professional travel agents who are qualified to navigate the complex and ever-changing new travel ‘normal’. There has never been a better time to join the travel industry and become part of this exciting and rejuvenated industry.
