Travel Retail Jobs

Retail travel agents are skilled agents who advice the general public in choosing their destination, transportation, and lodging, and inform travelers of passport and visa requirements, rates of currency exchange, and import duties. They furnish travelers with timetables and travel literature, compute fare costs and make reservations, and sell tours developed by the wholesale travel organizations.

In large travel agencies, retail travel agents may specialize in specific geographic areas; in smaller agencies, they have a broader range of responsibilities. Retail travel agents working in large agencies can advance by specializing in a particular service. Eventually they may become agency directors.

Most retail travel agents work for companies that are directly involved in transporting people—travel agencies, airlines, cruise ships, and railroads. Other employers of retail travel agents include oil companies, automobile clubs, and travel charter clubs. Some travel positions are available on the staffs of federal, state, and city governments seeking to encourage and expand tourism.

Retail travel agents are primarily sales workers, so the ideal candidate must enjoy working with people and must be able to establish effective relationships with their customers—even when those customers are particularly hard to please.

Interested applicants must have college-level training as the job competition is increasing by the day. Courses in liberal arts and knowledge of geography, world cultures, and foreign languages are useful. Business administration, accounting, and marketing courses are also helpful, as is travel experience. Computer training is necessary to track ticket prices, availability, travel dates, and routing information.
