A typical day is one were a clients comes in & we discuss were they want to go & do on their vacation.
You learn after a few minutes exactly want they want & you get to plan it for them & the ultimate joy is when they return from their vacation & are so very happy.
Our Franchise owner is the best always accommodating, pleasant & also there when you need her.
I am very lucky to work with such pleasant & helpful co-workers, we all get along & even get to go to seminars & conferences together.
The hardest part of this job happened this week when a client came in & said that she had to cancel her vacation to Hawaii because her MIR was not what she expected & her doctor felt this vacation would be too much for her. It broke my heart to see her cry as she was so looking forward to this vacation.
The most enjoyable is when my clients return from their vacation & are so excited & they show me photos of their vacation.

My role as Sales Manager at Expedia CruiseShipCenters, Ajax involved
many things, and kept me busy everyday. Mainly, I was responsible for 
recruitment and staff training. We grew our team, hit our goals, maintained a set budget and kept moving forward, growing all the time.
The hardest part sometimes was staying on task, as I was always having agents come to me with questions, but the best part was watching them learn the products and destinations, and see the sales grow. I thrive in a team environment, and have learned over the years that every team needs a leader to set targets, and guide everyone along the way until we reach the end goal. Nothing more satisfying when you accomplish a goal as a team! "Every dollar counts!" has been my motto for my entire career.

This was a great experience. I learned a lot about business and myself. The pay was extremely minimal for the hours spent researching for clients and sometime non existent if they suddenly weren't interested or just enquiring. 
I enjoyed it was a lot of studying and learning about all the different suppliers and keeping on top of it. As well as learning the different databases used for reservations and whatnot.
The interaction with clients was great and I loved working to make them satisfied with every detail I arranged.

Everything is planned in a customer centric way, projects laid down according to priority, tech lead and managers help mentor and stay highly relevant to the work, clear boundaries between projects, no overlaps, good management and planning, care is taken for employees to learn and grow, scope for improvement and employee participation, tech lead and managers trust employees and understand the knowledge gap and act appropriately, proper work life balance, less managers and more engineering managers/tpm or tech lead

This position offers a lot of flexibility and allows you to manage your time to suit your circumstances. The franchise owner is really genial and amenable and has the ability to work with just about everybody.

There is no pressure or should I say that you control your pressure as customers can be quite demanding and fickle. But those who are too blessed to be stressed will have no problem.

I have worked in EMEA in the Italian and UK offices and then in Auckland, New Zealand. Everywhere you get wonderful collaborative colleagues that want to work hard and have fun. Really great career progression and coaching culture, especially if one is mobile. Low turnover and the majority of time it is because of different industries or opportunities. Would definitely work there again and keeping all my ex colleagues as friends:)

Responsibilities:
•	Make arrangements for transportation, hotel accommodations, car rentals, tours, and recreation.
•	Track record of securing sales and continually increasing customer referrals 
•	Converse with customer to determine destination, mode of transportation, travel dates, financial considerations, and accommodations required.
•	Plan, describe, arrange, and sell itinerary tour packages and promotional travel incentives offered by various travel carriers

very good days at work everyday at expedia.ca.
learned a lot about travel and tourism. 
excellent management and security for all employees.
amazing co-workers.
the difficult part of the job was the 10 different types of computer systems we learned about and used it at a time for each passengers request and requirements.
the most enjoyable part was to book flights on sabre the travel network(software).

Expedia is the 800lb gorilla of online travel agencies but moves like a start-up. The people are awesome. Little room for advancement outside of Bellevue/Seattle and London offices. Big power struggle between these 2 offices. They aim for 50th-percentile in salary ranges generally so half of the companies in this sector pay more.

My 10+ years experience at Expedia Inc was very positive. A company that is competitive with a clear vision - To be the leading travel company globally.

They challenge there employees and invest in their continued growth and development. They empower employees and engage them in company decisions.

I highly recommend Expedia as an employer
