Travel agent

Travel agents plan and book trips for clients, handling the details of travel arrangements. The work involves advising on destinations and options, booking flights, accommodation, and activities, managing itineraries and changes, and solving problems when travel plans go awry, providing personal service and expertise.

They work for travel agencies or independently, often specialising. The role suits organised, knowledgeable, service-minded people who enjoy planning trips and helping people, can navigate booking systems and supplier relationships, and add value through expertise and personal attention that online booking alone can't match.
