Operations
Operations are responsible for resolving all operational post reservation, pre-departure, and in-resort issues quickly, efficiently, thoroughly and to a high standard whilst ensuring that the specified deadlines for response times are met. Often they will analyse sales figures up to 9 weeks prior to departure to decide if tours or flights should be canceled or can be consolidated and will update customer services for appropriate action.
