This role requires strong communication skills and confidence, as you will regularly engage with clients via phone and email to build trust and deliver exceptional service.

What are your key responsibilities?

• A customer-first mindset, with a passion for travel and a sales-driven approach, motivated to meet and exceed business targets
• Strong knowledge of Goway destinations. Has sold both 4- and 5-star tailor-made travel experiences, not just off-the-shelf packages.

• Experience with various travel booking platforms (e.g., Amadeus, Salesforce, other GDS systems, and CRM tools) and Microsoft Office apps.
• Highly organized, with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple requests and deadlines.
• Adaptable and proactive, able to work independently and as part of a team.
• Post-secondary education in travel, tourism, hospitality, or a related field, along with TICO certification, will be an asset.
