What are some jobs in tourism industry?

What are some of the jobs in the tourism industry that facilitate travelling around the world and at the same time having a handsome income?

  • I love travelling. And they say you should do what you love. And me being just an average guy, what are my scopes?

  • Answer:

    Working in the travel business seems to depend on the country you are living in.  In the US travel agents can be self-employed stay at home agents or have a host agency.  Yes you can work at a Travel Agency but most of those jobs are not you being self-employed.  Perks, such as travel discounts, FAM trips, travel agent rates come only if the Tour Operator has a travel agent price and with some suppliers only if the agent has sold upwards of $1million in sales.  That is a lot of selling.  This is not an easy business and it is not a get rich quick business.  I know agents who have been in business over 14 years and last year was their best year.    There are many different facets to being in the travel industry and many avenues to explore.  If you can, intern at your local brick and mortar agency and see what its really like.  Learn as much as possible and then decide where you think you want to develop your business.
