Shikha Rani Consultancy
A travel administrator researches and books flights, ground transportation and hotel accommodations, and provides travelers with directions and destination information. Knowledge of relevant flight regulations and required travel documentation are a must. Because of the unpredictable nature of the transportation industry and the complex task of coordinating employee and client schedules with business deadlines, a travel administrator should be an exceptional organizer, communicator, multi-tasker and problem-solver. In the office, a travel administrator creates detailed itineraries using programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook to meet employer-specific budgets and deadlines. He or she researches travel procedure and destination information on the Internet, creates and maintains relevant files and databases, and stays in constant communication with employees, customers and venues. An administrator works - oftentimes under pressure - with many different departments and varied clientele necessitating excellent interpersonal skills.
