Travel consultants are also referred to as travel agents, travel professionals, travel planners, and travel counselors. There's really no difference - they all sell travel products for a living. However, the recent trend has moved away from the term "travel agent" towards titles that imply more of a personal, one-on-one service.
As a travel consultant, you will help people plan vacations, trips and tours to locations across the country or around the world. You’ll help clients determine the types of trips that are suitable for them, and then arrange to sell them travel products that best meet their needs. Travel products you will sell to your clients include airline tickets, hotels, rental cars, travel tours or packages, cruises, rail passes, and more.
