What 旅行会社カウンター係 do

An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:

支店や営業所において、旅行の行程や価格などが既に決まっている「パッケージツアー」と、旅行者の希望や計画に合わせて手配する「手配旅行」を、お客のニーズに合わせてアドバイスしながら販売する。
 旅行者のニーズが多様化、個性化しているため、パッケージなど旅行商品の内容や品質も変化している。旅行者の嗜好の変化を反映し、旅行会社でも斬新な旅の提供を模索している。
 手配旅行では、お客の多くは視察旅行、修学旅行、職場旅行等であるが、最近ではより個別的な目的にあった旅行をしたいという客が増え、「手配旅行」の需要が大きくなっている。手配旅行では、旅行者はより多くの情報と専門的な知識を求めているので、旅行についての専門知識はもちろん、地理、歴史、文化、治安などの幅広い知識や最新情報をもってアドバイスをしていく必要がある。そして、予算に合わせてホテルや航空機を選択し、コンピュータ端末を使って航空機や鉄道のチケット、宿泊券などの予約・販売を行う。

How to become 旅行会社カウンター係

The typical path in Japan is shown by the education, training and experience of current workers above and in the Japanese guidance below. A detailed English guide for this occupation is being prepared.

Guidance from job tag (Japanese)
入職にあたって、特に資格や学歴は必要とされないが、大手旅行会社では、専門学校・短大・大学卒業者が多い。また、「国内旅行業務取扱管理者」、「総合旅行業務取扱管理者」等の国家資格を取得すると仕事の幅が広がるため、これらの資格を取ることが旅行会社社員の目標ともなっている。海外旅行の需要もあり、外国語(特に英語)を身につけておいた方が有利である。旅行が好きであること、人と接することが好きな人、社交性や積極性を持ち合わせた人に向いている。
 個人によるインターネットを利用した情報収集、宿、旅券等の検索、予約が普及する中、カウンター係もより深い知識や一般の人が知らない情報を求められる。お客の多様な注文や相談に対応できる接客能力や様々な情報からプランを組み立てられる力も必要である。対面サービスならではの安心感をお客に提供できることが重要となる。
