Tour Operator

A tour operator designs, arranges, and sells package holidays and tours to destinations both in the UK and abroad. This role involves organising transportation, accommodation, activities, and excursions, often working closely with travel agents and local providers. Tour operators must have excellent planning skills, knowledge of destinations, and the ability to manage budgets and logistics. Customer service is a key aspect, as operators help clients with bookings, provide information, and handle any issues that arise during travel. The job can be office-based but may also include site visits or travel to destinations to ensure quality and build relationships. The work is varied and suits people who are organised, enthusiastic about travel, and good at communicating with others.
