Job Description

At this travel agency in Bellville, you'll turn bookings into happy stays. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

You'll be based at a travel agency in Bellville. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

The work, day to day

  • Book shuttles, dinner reservations and game drives for guests.
  • Balance your cash float and card slips before handover.
  • Handle complaints at the desk and log them for the duty manager.
  • Check guests in and out on Opera or Protel, and scan IDs and passports.
  • Run the night audit, close the day and print the flash report.
  • Manage OTA bookings coming in from online travel channels.
  • Answer booking emails and calls, and quote rates from the rate sheet.

You'll need

  • Honest with cash and card payments
  • A hospitality or tourism diploma, or 1 year at a hotel front desk
  • Confident on a computer and quick to learn a property system
  • Clear spoken and written English
  • You can work rotating shifts, including nights
  • Calm with an unhappy guest at 11pm

Helpful, not essential

  • A foreign language such as German, French or Portuguese
  • Opera PMS or Protel certificate
  • Amadeus or Galileo training for travel roles

What you get

  • Service charge share at some properties
  • Discounted stays across the group
  • Paid system training in the first month
  • Night-shift allowance
