What does the day look like?
Most days are office-based, Monday to Friday; employers like Century Incoming Madrid describe flexible shifts around 08:00–18:30. Roughly half to two-thirds of your time is desk and email work: a foreign agency sends a request, you price hotel blocks, guides, coaches and excursions, build the itinerary, confirm suppliers, issue vouchers, rooming lists and proformas, and chase deposits and payments. Daily tools are Microsoft Office — Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint — and some Italian DMCs use Zucchetti ERP.
About a quarter goes to supplier negotiation and reconfirmation; the rest is documentation, margin control and complaints. This is not the glamorous side of travel — it is mostly desk work. If the role is explicitly on-ground support, airport meet-and-greet and 24×7 on-call rotation dominate instead — a separate, junior operations profile. Peak season brings evening and weekend cover and in-tour emergencies; in the travel-agency subsector, employment can run roughly 11% above the trough at peak.
