Common questions

What are the job opportunities for Travel Operators?
There are no clear employment figures on travel operators at this time, however you could start your own tourist operation or get a job at a travel agency, visitor information centre, events management company, or online call centre.
How do I become a Travel Operator?
Successful travel operators are outgoing and friendly people and are usually passionate about travelling themselves. You’ll need an excellent geographical knowledge of Australia and polished communication skills. Get started in this dynamic career path by grabbing the Certificate III in Travel. It’s a hands-on qualification that will teach you how to sell Australian tourism products and services as well as process reservations and bookings.
As your career progresses, consider the Diploma of Travel and Tourism or the Bachelor of Business (International Tourism). You can also increase your success and employability by learning to use the Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook) with proficiency and honing your communication and customer service skills.
