Product Description

Book Description
Have you ever dreamt of working with the UK's tour operators as a Holiday Rep but didn't know how to go about it? Well here's a book from Travelvocation which will not only help you through every stage of the recruitment process and give you all the information you needed to know but is also backed by the fact that it is endorsed by Thomson Holidays and is used by Colleges and Universities throughout the UK who run Travel and Tourism courses.

'So You Want To Be A Holiday Rep?' has been written specifically for new comers to this industry, so there is no complicated jargon and no stone is left unturned. The book gives a full description of the basic qualifications needed, what the job entails, how to apply for application forms and complete them, how to prepare for interviews, how to succeed at interviews and a full section on 'Tour Operator Information' which details facts and figures relating to specific UK holiday companies. There are complete welcome meeting and coach transfer transcriptions, examples of day-to-day problems and most importantly, recollections of the job from the people that actually do it themselves, the reps! Also included are addresses and contact details of all the Colleges and Universities currently offering Travel & Tourism courses.

From the Publisher
This is the second in the series of travel career guides released by Travelvocation. It is widely used in colleges throughout the UK who offer Travel & Tourism courses as supplementary reading material. The same can also be said about 'So You Want to be Cabin Crew?'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, 2 Jan 2003
I had wanted to be a Holiday Rep for some time but had always put it off because I didn't have any idea about how to go about it. When I came across 'So You Want to be a Holiday Rep?' I just had to buy it! Everything I ever wanted to know about the job is here from what the job actually entails to coach transfer transcriptions and a detailed list of Universities and Colleges which offer Travel and Tourism courses. There is nothing left to say other than this book is excellent and I just wished that I had bought it earlier!

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate help!, 29 Dec 2002
I always wanted to be a holiday rep and this book certainly helped me. Giving in-depth information about the actual job and what each day entails for the rep, there is also information on applying for the application forms, interview preparation and technique and information on current tour operators. Without doubt, if it hadn't been for this title (I couldn't find any others like it available to help me!) I wouldn't have followed the career path that I have.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Invaluable Resource!, 9 Jun 2003
"An invaluable resource for the AVCE Travel and Tourism course! It is reassuring for staff to know they are still in touch with the industry and giving the right advice. Students find it extremely useful for improving their marketability and now know that they can apply for industry jobs with confidence".
