About the role
This interview tests your ability to turn a tour promise into a safe, workable trip delivered by several suppliers. The panel will look for realistic itinerary planning, firm confirmations, accurate records and calm decisions when transport, weather or traveller needs force a change.
How to prepare

- Review how you confirm transport, accommodation, guides, meals and activities before departure.
- Practise explaining how you would recover a delayed or unavailable part of an itinerary.
- Be ready to discuss traveller briefings, special requirements and safety escalation.
- Think through how booking changes flow into supplier records, client communication and cost reconciliation.
Common mistakes
- Building an attractive itinerary without allowing for transfers, queues, meals and rest.
- Assuming a supplier is confirmed without checking the exact service and timing.
- Protecting the schedule when changed conditions make an activity unsafe.
- Making an operational change without updating travellers, suppliers and cost records.
