 Recreation Director:

Everyone likes to have fun on vacation, so the recreation director has an important job. He or she needs to find the hot spots or events at the desired destination and make them available to the tourists. Remember, not everyone is alike. Some people like water sports; some like indoor activities. Some people are early risers, while others party all night long and sleep late. The recreation director needs to research and identify the following:

-         activities varying from indoor to outdoor, land to water, dawn to dusk

-         names and locations of areas of interest (recreation, dining, etc.)

-         maps, schedules, and prices for activities if available

 Travel Agent:

The travel agent too has a very important job. For without this help, people would not be able to get to their destination. The travel agent needs to shop around and find the best prices for the following:

-         transportation to destination

-         transportation within destination (car rental, subway, bus, etc.)

-         lodging accommodations

-         dining accommodations

In addition, the travel agent needs to offer a variety of packages for the various wallet sizes. The travel agent must keep in mind that people of all incomes and interests travel. Some like to travel with class; some just like to get to their desired destination, even if it means driving long hours in a bus. Also, the travel agent must remember that not all people are crazy about the same types of transportation, hotel chains, and restaurants. The key to success with this job is offering a variety of packages that include a variety of choices.
