What is a travel assistant?

A travel assistant works with clients to create travel itineraries, secure reservations for transportation and lodging, and ensure any special dietary or medical needs are met. As a travel assistant, you help clients choose a destination and itinerary based on their schedule and needs, and then begin planning and making arrangements, sometimes even accompanying clients if they have special needs necessitating a companion. Your responsibilities may therefore go beyond planning duties, as you manage the day-to-day affairs of travel on behalf of your clients.
