A travel consultant, also known as a travel agent, is a person trained in the travel industry to provide advice and services for customers seeking travel solutions for vacation, business or even relocation destinations. Travel consultants have specialized knowledge of travel issues, affording them the ability to help their clients make informed travel plans. They also assist in the entire process of getting the client to and from his or her destination.


Working as a travel consultant is a great job for those with an interest in travel and the world at large. Roles vary from one travel agency to another, with some specialising in package deals from holiday tour brochures, whilst others concentrate on booking long haul flights. There is an element of specialist training and all operatives have to be able to use the industry standard travel booking programmes. A personable character and the ability to communicate clearly are aspects well received by travel consultant employers. A consultant ideally knows something about the locations the client is asking about, and some flight booking organisations ask for some reference as to which parts of the world an applicant has visited.


Promoting and recommending various travel destinations is the responsibility of a Travel Consultant. They also book flights, hotel rooms and arrange other travel plans for their clients. They have extensive knowledge about various countries’ geography, weather, history, language and customs.
