Travel Consultant — Juniper Tours

About Juniper Tours

Juniper Tours creates unforgettable travel experiences for our clients. Long known for our European itineraries, we're expanding our portfolio to include destinations across the globe — the Caribbean, Mexico, Central and South America, Asia, Africa, the South Pacific, and beyond. We're looking for a seasoned Travel Consultant who can sell the world.

The Role

We need a true travel professional — someone who has spent years at AAA Travel, a traditional travel agency, or a tour operator and knows how to sell anywhere on the map. You've booked Italian villas, Caribbean cruises, African safaris, Hawaiian honeymoons, Japan rail tours, and Disney packages. You don't just sell what you know — you know how to sell everything.

This role is for a closer who treats every inquiry as a booking opportunity, regardless of destination or product type. If a client calls asking about Tuscany and ends the call booked on a Galápagos cruise instead, that's the kind of consultant we want.

What You'll Do

Consult with travelers across every demographic — couples, families, multi-gen groups, solo travelers, seniors — and match them to the right destination and product

Sell the full spectrum: escorted tours, independent itineraries, all-inclusive resorts, cruises, river cruises, rail journeys, safaris, adventure travel, honeymoons, group travel, and custom FITs

Work confidently across every region — Europe, the Americas, Caribbean, Asia, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East

Quote, book, and service trips through GDS systems, supplier portals, and our internal booking tools

Manage the full client lifecycle: inquiry, consultation, quote, close, pre-departure, and post-trip follow-up

Build a loyal repeat-and-referral book of business

Hit and exceed monthly sales and revenue targets

Stay sharp on supplier promotions, destination conditions, visa and entry requirements, and travel trends

What We're Looking For

3+ years of travel sales experience at Travel Agency, a retail travel agency, host agency, tour operator, or cruise line

Proven ability to sell any destination, any product — not a single-region or single-supplier specialist

Strong working knowledge of major suppliers across tours, cruises, resorts, and air

Comfort with GDS (Sabre, Apollo, Amadeus) and/or major booking platforms

CLIA, IATA, or Travel Institute certifications a plus (CTA, CTC, DS)

Demonstrated track record of hitting sales targets and growing a client base

Extensive personal travel experience across multiple continents

Excellent consultative selling, listening, and closing skills

Professional communication, attention to detail, and follow-through

Why Juniper Tours

Competitive base salary plus commission — uncapped earning potential

Access to top supplier partnerships and preferred rates

Ongoing destination training and certifications

A team that respects experienced agents and gives you the autonomy to sell

We offer (health, PTO, 401(k))
