Job description

Are you the person who researches every hotel, reads the reviews, checks the map, and creates a schedule before taking a vacation? Those skills can be applied to helping clients plan organized and personalized travel experiences.

The Research Process

Each request begins with information about the client's dates, departure location, budget, interests, and accommodation preferences. You will use those details to research suitable destinations and vacation components.

You may be asked to compare beachfront resorts, evaluate cruise itineraries, find family-friendly activities, locate adults-only accommodations, calculate transportation time, or create a multi-city schedule. Your job is to organize the strongest options and explain why they may be a good fit.
