INDUSTRY-WIDE ROLES


There are many jobs that might not be specific to certain areas of the travel industry, but are equally important in ensuring the smooth running of a business. Like any organisation, travel firms need finance and operations teams behind the scenes, while the requirement to comply with complex UK and overseas regulations means if you want to pursue a career in legal services or health and safety, your skills will come in handy. Just because some roles don’t scream ‘travel’, doesn’t mean they’re not integral, or don’t exist, in the industry. Here are some of those critically important roles that span many different travel sectors.
