Travel Consultant

Get your career moving literally. Travel Consultant Limassol Cyprus Up to 43000 gross per annum benefits

This isnt your typical retail travel role. Its the kind of opportunity where your booking skills can make a real difference especially if youve worked in marine travel and know how to manage time-critical itineraries.

Your day-to-day

Youll speak their language because youve done marine bookings before. You know what it means to rebook six crew members at midnight due to a delayed tanker. You know GDS inside out and youve got the patience of a saint (and the negotiation skills of a diplomat).
