What does a virtual travel agent do?

Virtual travel agents help their clients make reservations for travel and accommodations. They do not meet with their clients in person; they perform most of the tasks from a travel agency call center or from a remote location, such as from home. As a virtual travel agent, you discuss your client’s plans and expectations of their trip either over the phone or through online platforms. These plans may include airfare, hotel or other living arrangements, and rental cars. You need to take into account your client’s budget and timeframe before booking the reservations. You may be a general travel agent, assisting any traveler in the general public, or you may specialize in different types of travel, such as business travel or vacation packages.
