What are the responsibilities and job description for the Travel Planner position at Elite Escapes?
Join Elite Escapes and turn your passion for travel into your next career.
As a Remote Travel Planner (Sales-Focused), you'll turn travel dreams into booked itineraries by pairing destination expertise with a consultative, client-first sales approach. You'll design custom trips while guiding clients from their first what if? to a confirmed reservation — whether it's a solo escape, a group getaway, a destination wedding, or a family travel experience.
What You'll Do- Craft personalized travel plans: flights, stays, tours, cruises, and packages built around each client's budget, style, and must-haves.
- Connect with clients to uncover their ideal trip, present tailored options, and confidently close the sale.
- Resolve questions and concerns promptly and professionally (payments, date changes, room upgrades, add-ons, etc.).
- Add value with insider knowledge: hidden gems, top photo spots, local experiences, and timely deals that make each trip special.
- Stay with clients from start to finish — pre-trip planning and payment coordination, on-trip support, and post-trip follow-ups and reviews.
- Strong communication and people skills; comfortable leading conversations, handling objections, and guiding clients to a decision.
- Ability to juggle multiple quotes, itineraries, and bookings without dropping details.
- Fast learner when it comes to new tools — CRMs, booking engines, analytics dashboards, and collaboration platforms.
- Background in sales, customer service, hospitality, or travel is a bonus, but not required — we provide full training.
- Genuine love for travel and helping others explore with confidence
- Fully remote role part time or full time
- Comprehensive onboarding and ongoing coaching on products, suppliers, and sales-driven planning techniques.
- A collaborative, supportive team culture.
- Room to grow and specialize
This role moves quickly, but if you're the person who keeps itineraries, bookings, group trips, and collaborations running smoothly — turning conversations into confirmed trips and memorable experiences — you'll thrive here.
