You might arrange for clients to take part in guided tours or arrange entry to tourist attractions.

Travel Consultants should have excellent customer service skills. It’s important that you can communicate well with clients and understand their needs. Travel Consultants should be organised and able to manage several tasks at one time. It’s important you are passionate about travel and have a strong knowledge of tourist destinations.
