Subject: Application for Travel Consultant

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to express my enthusiastic interest in the position of Sales/Travel Consultant at Abel reizen. The challenge, the opportunity to utilise my commercial skills, and the chance to help travellers create unique holiday experiences strongly appeal to me in this role.

Following training in the sales process, I look forward to working independently to sell holidays from your diverse portfolio. Composing tailor-made quotes and providing expert advice to travellers seem like wonderful tasks to fulfil. Furthermore, I find contributing to the development of new travel products and the procurement process for travel components to be highly valuable.

What makes me suitable for this position is my excellent commercial and communication skills, which I have developed during my professional experience in sales. I am adept at empathising with customer needs and am also technically proficient, allowing me to see opportunities to further optimise the customer journey and experience. Additionally, I am passionate about nature and travel, which aligns well with the philosophy of Abel reizen. Although I do not have personal travel experience in Scandinavia, I am highly motivated to immerse myself in the region and expand my knowledge of the destinations.

Abel reizen appeals to me because of its small-scale nature, its specialisation in tailor-made trips to Scandinavia, and the focus on making nature sustainably accessible. I appreciate the commitment and expertise of your organisation regarding the destinations, which I would also love to convey to the customers.

I am excited about the inspiring workplace in the beautiful Midwest building in Amsterdam West and the prospect of at least one study trip per year. I am ready to explore the world of travel and inspire others by creating unforgettable experiences.

Yours sincerely,

[Your Name]

By paying attention to personal details and extra touches, such as a romantic dinner and surprise gifts, I was able to convince the couple to book their trip through us. This example demonstrates that I am customer-focused, creative, and commercially minded.
