Good afternoon!My name’s Carl and I work for one of the major companies in the High Street.I’ve been with them for about 13 years.People often ask me why I decided to do this job.As a young adult,I loved travelling and worked for a while as a salesman in Spain.When I came back to stay within the travel industry,my experience of working in tourist centers abroad helped me to get this job.I have to admit that one of the main reasons I wanted to be a travel agent was that we get cheap flights and holidays.It’s a great advantage!

Basically I’m a salesperson.I advise people on the holiday choices available to them,you know,different destinations,types of holiday,ways to get there,and so on.When a customer has decided what he wants,I book it for them and make any other arrangements they may need.My duty doesn’t end there,though.If my customers are flying,I need to tell them what time they have to check in,and make sure they know what time they will be arriving.I also give information on likely weather conditions and anything else I think will be useful for them.
