About Kim Luxe Travel

Kim Luxe Travel is a bespoke travel design consultancy committed to delivering exceptional value and uncompromised experiences across all budgets. We specialize in maximizing our clients' travel investment by expertly planning complex, multi-national journeys—from world tours and multi-stop European itineraries to specialized cultural immersion trips. We prioritize meticulous logistics and deep global knowledge.

Role Summary

We are seeking a highly experienced and geographically fluent Global Travel Planner & Itinerary Specialist to design, book, and manage complex international itineraries. This specialist will handle multi-destination and multi-modal travel, ensuring seamless transitions, maximized value, and expert guidance for global clients. The ideal candidate has deep knowledge of visa requirements, international booking systems (GDS), and the ability to confidently source both luxury five-star experiences and high-value budget accommodations worldwide.

Key Responsibilities

• Complex Itinerary Design: Create custom, detailed, multi-country and multi-stop itineraries, including managing flights, rail passes, inter-country transfers, and diverse accommodation types (hotels, private rentals, specialty stays).
• Global Logistics Management: Advise clients on international travel logistics, including necessary travel documentation (visas, entry requirements), currency exchange, cultural considerations, and necessary travel insurance for specific regions.
• Value-Driven Sourcing: Demonstrate expertise in securing the best rates and premium amenities globally, focusing on maximizing value regardless of the client's budget (e.g., finding the best cost-per-value for a European rail trip vs. securing VIP access at an Asian luxury resort).
• Booking and Fulfillment: Utilize GDS and specialist international supplier portals to accurately book and manage all components of the global itinerary, ensuring accurate fulfillment and confirmation.
• Crisis Management: Provide proactive and decisive support for clients experiencing international travel disruptions, demonstrating effective problem-solving skills to re-route and manage complex changes globally.

• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple currencies, time zones, and complex budgets simultaneously.
• Exceptional organizational skills, meticulous attention to detail, and a commitment to seamless client experience.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary based on experience and bonuses tied to the complexity and volume of global bookings.
• Flexible, remote work environment that supports your expertise without geographical constraints.
• Access to advanced global booking tools, GDS training, and destination FAM opportunities.
• A collaborative team culture committed to delivering Maximized Value and Uncompromised Experiences.
