A day in the life of a TravelManager

A day in the life of a TravelManager
By Hannah Edensor


The TravelManagers annual conference wrapped up just a couple of short weeks ago, but there’s been one hilarious legacy that’s lived on, and that’s their ‘day in the life of’ video.

Shared in the opening address of the conference in Darwin, the video shows how busy – but also how fun – a day in the life of a TravelManager can be.

With ‘actors’ all personal travel managers (PTMs) and the TravelManagers national partnership office (NPO) team starring as themselves, Executive General Manager Michael Gazal said the video provides a tongue-in-cheek look at how the TravelManagers team are all ‘one’, in line with their conference theme of ‘ONE’.

“The original video was produced with the intention of providing an exaggerated fun start to the conference itself and was incredibly well received by all.”

Gazal was quick to add, all jokes aside, there is a genuine message behind the fun.

“The key message behind our video is at TravelManagers we work together as one team towards common objectives and that there are many people and roles that contribute to achieving these goals on a daily basis.

“As Australia’s largest home-based network of travel professionals, with PTMs located right across the country, it is the support of the NPO that really is the glue that ties us all together.

“We just didn’t realise that acting was also such a great talent of ours and we are now just awaiting our call up from Hollywood.”

Chief Operating Officer Grant Campbell, added, “We recognise behind the scenes central and local state-based support is crucial to the success of our PTMs and we constantly look at ways to be forward thinking and innovative.

“The NPO includes seven local state based business partnership managers and provides significant support across a range of support services which we know adds huge value to our PTMs.

“The video was our light-hearted way to illustrate how we all collectively work together as one, our PTMs provide their clients with innovative and competitive products and exceptional service supported by a specialist NPO team of industry experts.”
