Job description

Relief Travel Specialist

Permanent | Market-Related Salary

Imagine stepping into a travel desk and instantly knowing what to do. Not because someone handed you a manual. But because you’ve lived it. You’ve quoted, chased, designed, and delighted—sometimes all before lunch.

This position is a backstage pass to the heartbeat of luxury travel. A chance to be the calm in the storm, the spark in the quiet, and the glue when things get wild.

What You’ll Be Trusted With :

  • Taking full command of a consultant’s desk when they’re away—requotes, proposals, and all.
  • Crafting brochure quotes that make agents say “yes” before they finish reading.
  • Coordinating educational bookings with Sales so seamlessly, they feel like magic.
  • Testing systems and procedures like a curious detective with a flair for efficiency.
  • Chasing provisional bookings like they owe you money (in the nicest way).
  • Reviving dead leads with charm, timing, and a touch of travel alchemy.
  • Supporting consultants during peak periods with booking muscle and grace.
  • Designing itineraries that feel like stories, not spreadsheets.
  • Communicating clearly and consistently with agents, suppliers, and teammates.
  • Rotating emergency duty and early / late shifts with professionalism and poise.

What You Know :

  • Tourplan and Microsoft systems (or you learn fast).
  • South Africa, Southern and East Africa—like a local with a global lens.
  • How to deliver service excellence without breaking a sweat.
  • What You Bring :

  • A “can do” attitude with a side of curiosity.
  • Deep understanding of travel channels, markets, and commercial strategy.
  • Sales savvy, problem-solving finesse, and teamwork that lifts others.
  • Tech confidence : Tourplan, WETU, MS Office—no panic Googling required.
  • Who You Are :

  • Interpersonally gifted, deadline-driven, and delight-obsessed.
  • Motivated by meaning, not metrics.
  • Willing to teach, share, and inspire.
  • Admin-driven but never robotic.
  • What You’ve Done :

  • 3–5 years of inbound tour consulting experience.
  • Enough to know what works, and brave enough to try what hasn’t been done.
  • Tracey is leading the recruitment for this role. If this sounds like your kind of challenge, she’d love to hear from you.

    Care of people. Care of land. Care of wildlife. This will be your compass.
