5. Vacation Planning Counselor
Do you love to help friends and family members plan their vacations? Perhaps you already work for a travel agency?
The leisure and hospitality industry continues to grow as people choose to take more and more vacations each year.
As a vacation planning counsellor, you can work remotely from home via the phone and internet.
All you need is sales experience and great customer service skills to turn this type of stay-at-home gig into a success. You’ll get to work directly with your clients, assisting them in choosing hotels, flights, and activities to enjoy while on vacation.
This job is perfect for those who have travelled extensively already as you will be able to offer plenty of insider tips and local knowledge.
There is also a wealth of information available on travel websites, and many feature reviews of hotels, restaurants, spas, nightclubs and sports activities.
If you have experience in a certain field such as weddings, skiing, adventure holidays or wine tours, why not put your knowledge to good use and offer specialised package holidays.
Overseas wedding planners can even accompany their clients to their destination to ensure that their big day goes perfectly to plan. If you’re new to this field, you might want to get your feet wet first at a brick-and-mortar vacation agency.
