Did not choose this industry, it was offered to me by auditors! But I love it

Etosha National Park, Epupa Falls, Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls; the Addo Elephant Park; and hiking in Malolotje Reserve in Swaziland

I have been in travel and more particularly in conferencing, incentives and touring since 1991

The reason I chose the travel industry was pure chance

I recently travelled to Nelspruit and the Sabi Sands and stayed at Singita Game Lodge and a few other lodges in the area. It was an awesome experience and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I have never had the opportunity of going overseas and definitely would like to see as much of the British Isles as possible but I have always wanted to go to Amsterdam and, hopefully, will achieve my dreams one day soon. I would also love to visit my step children in Australia.

About 10 wonderful and exciting years

I have always enjoyed being an armchair traveler, fascinated by the interesting and diverse places featured. The travel bug bit me whilst on a high school road trip around South Africa and Swaziland – and once it’s bitten one can never stop! I am loving the people, destinations and the fact that no two days are the same. Making people’s dreams possible is not a job – it’s a passion!

I take beautiful memories from all the places I’ve visited - from the vastness of the Outback to snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef; from the wonderful beaches and hospitality of Mauritius to the vibrance of the City of Tango (Buenos Aires); from elephant back safari and the sheer magnificence of Victoria Falls. Egypt is one I would love to visit one day - along with India, a country with so much diversity , spirituality and humanity.

I’m a newbie, just under 2 years & counting…

During my career in publishing the travel sector has always held the most exciting appeal.

New York is my best yet, Croatia is my best to come!

I’ve been in the Travel industry for the last 9 years

I chose this particular industry because for the longest time, all I wanted to do was “travel”. The people from different cultures and backgrounds that you get to meet, is what makes this job worthwhile, as well as all the “travel perks”. Even though it can be extremely stressful at times, I enjoy the “madness” that is part of this industry.

My dream destination would definitely have to be Europe, purely for their architectural history, and Hawaii for the beaches and luau’s!

I have been working in the travel industry for over 9 years travelling the world on Luxury Cruise liners around the globe and visiting 7 continents. After I settled from traveling , I started to work in the travel market where I have been serving my clientele for 6 years.

I chose this Industry from my experience of seeing the world and be able to share the dream of travel with my clients. I love this industry for so many reasons, my biggest reason would be the passion for travel.

My most favourite destination would be Alaska - its unspoilt beauty of Glaciers , wild life and champagne clean air has made the biggest impression on my life. Seeing Alaska can cure even the worst memory you ever had. It's like entering the Garden of Eden - it's truly paradise.

To see lots of people, that's why I love being here

I haven't travelled yet, but I would love to go to a game reserve to see lots of animals

I have been in travel for three years

Because of the World Cup bringing opportunities, not just job creation, but also seeing my favourite football stars and maybe interacting with them one day. I love meeting people, especially foreigners. It is an exciting industry because of the diverse cultural and traditions of people I interact with.

I would love to travel the world: my favourite spots would be Ireland, Scotland, Brazil and Mauritius.

5 years after returning to South Africa from the UK.

After returning from overseas where I did as much travelling as I could the travel bug still had me so it was the most desirable industry for me at the time and it still is to this day.

My favourite travel memory to date is my recent honeymoon down the garden route where I took a leap off the Bloukrans bungy bridge. After that London and Edinburgh will always have a soft spot in my heart as well as Thailand and Mauritius. Places that I would love to go to are Machu Pichu, Peru and I would love to do a cruise to Antarctica.

11 Years

I am a social butterfly so meeting new people is always on top of my list and that’s exactly one of the things our industry is about.

My dream holiday would be soaking up the sun on a beach in Mauritius, hopefully that dream would become a reality soon.

I have been in travel since 1999 ( went out of travel from 2001-2003) then back from 2004 onwards. About 9 years.

I loved the idea of being able to sell a dream! When I thought about travel I never thought I would sit in a office. I thought I would be the one travelling all the time… What a wake-up call, one need money to support a travel bug! I love people and to learn about new cultures, countries, destinations and sharing travel information, therefore I still love being a travel agent and interacting with all elements of the industry.

London, Scotland and Thailand will always be very close to my heart. I shared unbelievable moments and memories with family and friends there. I also loved Egypt for its unbelievable diving, history and architecture, Munich for its culture and food, Italy for its ice cream and shoes, France for the talent, art, clothes and beaches in the south, and Kenya for its beaches and people.

10 years

I love to experience new places and to help people to make their dream holiday a reality

The USA – I lived in the USA for almost 2 years and loved the fact that everything is bigger and better and how the people, landscape and customs can differ from the one state to the next. It was a brilliant experience!

9 years

For the word 'travel'. I love travelling and also to meet people from all different ends of the world.

Definitely Thailand, loved every second of it. I got the opportunity to travel to Thailand in September 2008 , for 7 nights. We visited Koh Samui and then onto Bangkok. We stayed at 3 stunning hotels during this trip; Melati Resort, Chaweng Beach Resort in Koh Samui and Sofitel Silom Hotel in Bangkok. Awesome night markets and hot spots to relax and either chill with a drink or party the night away.

28 Years

I wanted to expand my horizons and the industry has done this in an enriching and exciting way.

How does one choose between Alaska, the Seychelles, a Summer break in Paris and a zany trip across Ireland? All Fabulous.

I have been in travel from 1979 to 2008. I started off working flexi hours with "The Kibbutz Adventure" and then full time thereafter.

I did not choose the travel industry per se! We had bought a travel agency co-incidentally at the time that I needed more stimulation in my life than being bogged down with domesticity. I did enjoy meeting so many interesting and diverse people who were very appreciative of my services.

My favourite travel memory? Each and every country we travelled to was special. Perhaps the journey in a helicopter from Nice to Monaco that lasted 7 minutes each way to attend UFTTA conferences with Barney, was very exciting.

20 Years

The travel opportunities available to the industry.

Singapore – they are very organized and the city was very clean.

I spent 10 years travelling around the globe, and am now 10 years working in the industry.

When it was time for my travels to come to a slowdown, I got the opportunity to enter the travel industry while living abroad. I love the creativity (and the sometimes chaos!) that goes with my job, and who can say no to all the amazing travel opportunites?

Santorini - what a stunning place, and the people are fantastic. Living there is on my bucket list. I also loved Brazil with its amazing beaches and spirited locals!

I have been in the travel industry about 10 years.

I love the challenge travel accounts holds .

The furthest I have been is Johannesburg, and my dream destination is Dubai, but I’m hopeful that one day I will be able to go.

I have been 15 years in Travel

The nice thing in travel is that you meet a lot of people from different countries and different cultures which make you feel excited to work. I most enjoy the client interaction everyday; it’s quite exciting.

I have been out as far as Johannesburg; I would like one day to visit America, with the intentions of touring around see what the place look likes.
