Tour Coordinator

A Tour Coordinator organises tourist visits to towns, tourist attractions or special places of interest. You might coordinate bookings, organise transport and arrange other details such as accommodation or catering. Tour Coordinators might plan itineraries, pre-book entry to tourist attractions and arrange for guides to take visitors on specialised tours. You might organise activities such as bushwalking, canoeing, rock climbing, abseiling and horse trekking.

Tour Coordinators should be highly organised and able to plan for a range of circumstances. It’s important that you have good problem solving abilities and can communicate well with people from a range of backgrounds. Tour Coordinators must be able to multitask and have strong customer service skills.
