Travel Consultant Jobs in Australia

If you have are well travelled and you're a great communicator, then a career as a travel consultant will suit you. A travel consultant usually works either for a travel management company or a boutique travel agency to source and book accommodation and flights to worldwide destinations.

Within a travel agency, the travel consultant provides expert travel advice and organizes bespoke travel experiences and holidays for clients. Working within a travel management company, a travel consultant provides a complete travel itinerary for the company's business travel clients including booking flights, accommodation, car hire and organising daily schedules including meetings and attendance at events.

Travel consultants may specialise in particular areas such as business, international or domestic travel. Sometimes a travel consultant will be directly employed within a large corporate company. They are responsible for providing a very high level of customer service and need to be able to make changes to itineraries quickly and professionally. They usually work normal office hours but need to be contactable after hours if there is an emergency or changes need to be made.
