About Us

We are a forward-looking travel agency specializing in immersive cultural journeys — combining history, local traditions, art, cuisine and unique experiences. We believe travel is more than sightseeing; it’s about connection, understanding and transformation. We’re looking for a passionate Remote Cultural Travel Planner who shares that vision and can help our clients craft meaningful journeys.

Key Responsibilities

* Consult with clients remotely to understand their travel interests, budget, cultural focus (heritage, art, gastronomy, local traditions) and trip goals.
* Research and design fully customized itineraries that highlight cultural richness: local festivals, indigenous communities, art & architecture, traditional cuisine, historical sites, cultural tours.
* Coordinate bookings: flights, accommodations, ground transportation, guides, local experiences and relevant activities — ensuring cultural authenticity and value.
* Maintain and nurture relationships with cultural organisations, local hosts\/guides, vendors and suppliers — ensuring high-quality experiences and fair partnerships.
* Provide travellers with guidance on local customs, cultural etiquette, entry\/visa requirements, health and safety, and any relevant travel advisories.
* Monitor destination trends, new cultural travel opportunities, travel restrictions, and supplier updates.
* Deliver client support before, during and after trips (pre-departure advice, trouble-shooting while traveling, post-trip follow-up and feedback).
* Maintain accurate records: itineraries, bookings, payments, client preferences and documentation.
* Collaborate with internal teams (marketing, operations, customer service) to refine offers, produce travel content, help with upsells or value-adds (e.g., premium cultural dinners, private sessions, exclusive access).

Qualifications & Skills

* A deep interest in world cultures, cultural travel, heritage tourism, art, food traditions or local lifestyles.
* Excellent verbal and written communication skills; strong customer service orientation.
* Highly organized, detail-oriented and able to manage multiple itineraries\/clients simultaneously in a remote environment.
* Comfortable working independently, self-motivated, able to meet deadlines and work across time\u2010zones as needed.
* Proficiency with computers, Internet, online booking platforms\/CRMs, basic spreadsheets.
* Previous experience in travel planning, hospitality, tourism or event planning is a plus — but not strictly required if you have the right mindset and willingness to learn.
* (Optional) Knowledge of additional languages beyond English is beneficial.
* Reliable internet connection, home office set-up suitable for remote work.

What We Offer

* Fully remote work: flexibility in location.
* Flexible schedule (depending on the role: full-time or part-time).
* Opportunity to design and influence meaningful, culturally-rich travel experiences that leave a lasting impact.
* Access to travel industry tools, supplier networks and exclusive travel deals\/discounts (depending on partnership).
* Growth opportunities: as you build expertise and client relationships, possibility to specialize (e.g., luxury cultural travel, group cultural tours, thematic cultural travel).
* Supportive team environment (though remote) with training, mentorship and resources to succeed.

Ideal Candidate

You’re someone who:

* Gets excited by discovering new places, cultures and traditions, and enjoys sharing that with others.
* Is a problem-solver: when travel issues arise (time differences, delays, local disruptions) you remain calm and find solutions.
*Loves designing journeys that go beyond the “tourist trail” — you aim for authenticity, depth and memorable cultural moments.
* Understands that remote work demands discipline: you manage your time and tasks, communicate proactively, and collaborate digitally.
* Is open to continuous learning: staying current on destinations, travel technologies and emerging trends in cultural travel.
