Travel Consultant Limassol, Cyprus

Get your career moving literally. Travel Consultant Limassol, Cyprus Up to 43,000 gross per annum + benefits

This isn't your typical retail travel role. Its the kind of opportunity where your booking skills can make a real difference especially if you've worked in marine travel and know how to manage time-critical itineraries.

And unlike many small agencies, you'll be backed by a powerhouse: a global travel group with offices across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Think of it as working with the agility of a local team, but with the muscle and network of an international operation.

Your day-to-day?

You already know what this job involves. Flights, hotels, transfers, visas done. But this isn't about copy-pasting itineraries. Its about solving problems quickly, making life easier for seafarers, executives, and crew planners alike. You'll be their calm in the chaos.

You'll speak their language because you've done marine bookings before. You know what it means to rebook six crew members at midnight due to a delayed tanker. You know GDS inside out, and you've got the patience of a saint (and the negotiation skills of a diplomat).

What's in it for you?

A stable, full-time role with competitive salary up to 43K

Work that's fast-paced and challenging (but never boring)

Career growth potential within a major global travel network

Supportive colleagues who get what you do because they do it too

If you've got experience in corporate or marine travel, love logistics, and are the kind of person who keeps cool when others panic, you'll thrive here.
