What do you love about working in the travel industry?

I love working in this industry as it is such a good feeling to find someone their dream holiday and I love to hear the feedback on holidays I have booked for customers.

What is your favourite holiday destination and why?

My favourite holiday destination is Mexico.
I went to Mexico this April and that was my first visit there. I loved every minute of it from the luxury hotel with 7 different restaurants to the natural water parks and most of all I loved to have fun in Coco Bongos.
I would love to travel back to Mexico and would definitely recommend it to customers.

Hi i'm Gemma I have worked for Andrew at the Ferensway branch since June 1994.

What do you love about working in the travel industry

I love that every client wants something different and I get a buzz out of finding them their dream holiday

Favourite Holiday

My favourite destination is South Africa, I was lucky to have the opportunity to travel there in December to Cape Town, The Winelands and the Garden Route, it blew me away. There is so much to see and do and it is such a scenic beautiful destination. 

My Top Travel Tip

Don't risk something going wrong with your holiday by booking it yourself online, book with an expert. 

Recommendations

 
I recommend All inclusive holidays if you have a family as the cost of soft drinks can be expensive with the poor euro rate, this saves you money in the long run.I think Singapore and Dubai are both great places and if you are travelling to Australia would make great stopover destinations.I have stayed in Bahamas, Barbados, Jamaica, Mexico and the Dominican republic, so could recommend any of the above.

After leaving college in 2014, I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to work for Andrew Earles.

I have also received experience working for other Travel companies in the past.

What do you love about working in the travel industry?

The best thing for me about working within the Travel industry is every enquiry is never the same and this makes the job exciting.

What is your favourite holiday destination and why?

My favourite holiday destination has got to be Sanya, China's Hainan Island.

Having been lucky enough to visit this beautiful Island for a week I had never thought of China as a beach resort.

My experience included trying many different local cuisines, sightseeing the Luhuitou Park (Deer Looks Back Park) and much more.

It was amazing to see the Chinese culture and I would highly reccommend this Island as an alternative to Thailand as a wintersun destination with its white sandy beaches and crystal waters.

My top tip to customers would be book early to avoid disappointment.

How Long have you worked in travel and for Andrew Earles?

I have worked in travel for a total of 4 years and have recently started at Andrew Earle's.

What do you love about working in the travel industry?

I really love bringing the destinations to life for the customer so that they really get a feel of what to expect and get excited about booking/travelling. I love seeing a customer leave happy with a wonderful holiday to look forward to. I also enjoy speaking about the beautiful places I have visited and sharing opinions and information.

 What is your favourite holiday destination & why?

My favourite holiday destination is Thailand, in particular Bangkok. I love the Thai food as well as the hustle and bustle of such a vibrant city and seeing all the weird and wonderful things for sale in the markets. I also enjoy feeling so far away from home and really exploring such a different culture. The islands and temples are also stunningly beautiful like nothing you could see in the UK. I even ate a scorpion!!

What would be your top travel tip to customers?

Make sure you change your currency in the UK before travelling on holiday as the rates of exchange are so much better here than overseas.

 Also, pre-booking trips/excursions before you travel prevents you missing out when you arrive.

I originally worked for Andrew when I left school for a couple of years but then went on to try something different, I returned to work for Andrew in February 2010 and have never looked back.

What do you love about working in the travel industry?

I love being able to book peoples holidays as it’s a really exciting time for people, especially when you are able to add your own experiences and advice into the booking.

What is your favourite holiday destination and why?

I have a few favourites but the top have got to be Florida and cruising.
I went on my first cruise last year and couldn’t believe how much there actually is to do on the ships. They are also a great way to see lots of different places that you wouldn’t always think of travelling to.
As for Florida, I visited Orlando and a couple of the beaches in Florida and love all of it. I am a bit of an thrill seeker so Orlando is great as it has the rides, there’s plenty of shopping to do and lots more attractions too. The beaches are gorgeous, Sarasota with its Siesta Beach has been voted best beach in America for a couple of years now and I am lucky enough to have been.

What would be your top travel tip to customers?

Book early as you have more choice and usually this gives you the best prices too.
