Travel Consultant Jobs in South Africa

The job of a travel consultant may seem similar to that of a job agent, yet it is different. Like a travel agent, a travel consultant is involved with travel and holiday planning for individuals and groups. However, a travel consultant has expertise to advise on specialised travel topics – eco-tourism, cultural tourism, sustainable tourism or working holidays, a latest volunteering trend. Unlike travel agents, a travel consultant is advising from the angle of personal experiences. Travel consultants apply a personal touch and spend time getting to know their client and his or her desires, rather than just opting for the cheapest travel package or pre-planned travel options. By relying on his or her personal experiences and first hand travel knowledge, the travel consultant is in the position to equip the potential customer with the inside info, expert advice on how to plan your trip and budget advice for your travel duration. Interpersonal interaction and the desire to share your personal travel and foreign experiences is part of the travel consultant's make-up. The travel consultant is often self-employed but may also be employed by a travel company on the basis of their personal travelling experiences.
