We have travelled the length and breadth of Asia and tested every possible route to enable us to curate itineraries that work seamlessly, taking in the country’s many highlights at just the right pace. Our Asia itineraries are packed with unique experiences and handpicked accommodations, delivering truly unforgettable travel moments. As part of our Asia sales team, you will provide a pivotal role supporting the guest booking journey; supporting delivery of team targets, ensuring our exemplary service standards are met, and adding luxurious finishing touches to the holidays. The role requires strong attention to detail and a keen eye for process execution. With the potential of the position leading to a sales consultant role, it’s a great opportunity for someone looking to enter the travel industry with a market leading luxury tour operator without having the travel and sales experience often required.

- Conduct post-trip calls and clearly annotating feedback in our internal database, whilst effectively handling any issues that are raised
- Support the sales team handling guest complaints pre-travel, or helping to resolve issues on the ground relating to complex multi-destination itineraries
- Support the Travel Executive team in confirming all holiday arrangements, supplier bookings/invoices are correct and ensure guest documentation is completed to the highest standard
- Act as a second pair of eyes, spotting discrepancies and areas for possible error
- Ensure a timely collection of balances
- Obtain and accurately record all required information from guests on behalf of the Travel Consultants
- To attend supplier meetings and training to ensure total immersion in the destinations offered, including visiting countries as part of a familiarisation trip
