Accreditations
WORKING AS A TOUR MANAGER OR OPERATOR
Tour managers take the difficulty out of holidays. They coordinate and arrange tour, travel, and holiday packages that coordinate a range of different services, including flights, transportation, accommodation, sight seeing, food, and any other necessary services. This can make travelling more appealing for people who are either time poor, or overwhelmed by the notion of having to organise all this themselves. Tours will also offer the added bonus of being able to offer clients authentic experiences due to local knowledge that the customers may not be able to access otherwise. Tour operators are responsible for planning, creating, organizing, and marketing the tour, as well as booking clients in, operating the tour, giving advice, and solving any problems that arise.
Opportunities
Tour operators may work for themselves, or they may work for larger companies. Job opportunities include:
-
Working for yourself
-
Working in a small, specialised company
-
Working on cruise ships
-
Working for a hotel or resort
-
Working for a major international tour operator
Depending on the company, the role can vary to include all tasks involved in delivering tour packages, or the tour operator may be required to do just one or more task that they specialise in, for example leading the tour, taking bookings, negotiating deals with service providers, etc.
There are many different sectors of the market that tours can service. For example, tours for older people, tours for young travellers on their first overseas trip, adventure or eco tourism, holidays for families, etc. One of the latest areas in tours is voluntourism, where people will spend part of their trip touring around a country, and the other part participating in some form of volunteer work.
Although people are looking to the internet to book their tours, there is still a need for tourism operators to create the tours (as well as the website content). To be a successful tourism operator, you will need to have a good online presence, and be creative, innovative, and up to date with trends.
Risks and challenges
Access to information on the internet may threaten tourism operators as they exist today, however savvy tourism operators will be able to capitalise on the opportunities the internet offers (such as exposure to a global market).
The work may be seasonal, depending on the company you work for.
You will be dealing with people in an environment that is unfamiliar to them. Your clients may be stressed and difficult to deal with at times.
You will be required to resolve issues that inevitably arrive, for example lost luggage, stolen camera, missed connections, booking errors, etc.
How to become a Tourism Manager or Operator
There is no specific qualification that you need to become a tourism operator, although some training in tourism and hospitality will greatly benefit you. It you are delivering specialist tours, such as eco tours, you will need to have an appropriate level of knowledge about the tours you are leading. Vocational training may be sufficient to develop your skills and knowledge.
Other attributes that you will need include:
-
Being an effective communicator
-
Being interested in travel
-
Being culturally sensitive
-
Having the ability to use computers and computer programs
-
A knowledge about travel destinations
-
Basic administration skills
The majority of these skills can be learnt on the job. People will often start in this industry in a low level role, then move their way up to become a tourism operator. As mentioned, many of the necessary skills can be learnt on the job, however more in depth knowledge can be learnt through tourism, hospitality, or similar training which will be greatly beneficial for your career. Other related jobs might include:
-
Hospitality manager
-
Hotel manager
-
Tourism agent
-
Bed and breakfast manager
-
Tour guide
-
Ecotourism guide
-
Nature Park Manager
