If you are anything like I was in my early 20’s, you joined this dynamic & glamourous industry of Travel and Tourism because you “love to travel’. However, loving to travel and selling travel are two completely different things!

Selling travel to other people while you are most definitely NOT traveling, is not so glamourous after all and can become quite frustrating to some.  When you are stuck behind a desk in an office with incredibly large sales targets to meet you may start to question your career choice.
