Specialist Travel Sales Consultant/Designers — African or South American Expert
Home Based UK | Permanent | £Competitive + Uncapped Commission
We are recruiting two Travel Designers for an independent luxury tour operator with extensive expertise in expedition and wildlife travel. These are permanent, home based roles for experienced consultants with deep regional knowledge of either Africa or South America.
This is a consultative, high-value sales role with product that spans gorilla trekking in Rwanda, safari camps in Botswana and Tanzania, jaguar expeditions in Brazil, wildlife encounters in the Galápagos, and wilderness lodges across Patagonia and the Amazon.
