James A. Miller, CTC dan Robert W. McIntosh, Ph.D. dalam buku “UP WITH PROFITS”, Bab I, Halaman 8 menulis :
“Competent, professional travel counseling demands wide travel experiences, sales agency experience. An educational academic background pertaining to the disciplines most relating to travel is also helpful. These disciplines include practical knowledge of the fine arts, such as painting, sculpture, architecture, and music, and history, archeology and physical geography.
A knowledge and practice of Interpersonal psychology is also extremely useful, especially in sales and conducting efficient conversations with clients to bring out their true or complete interest and needs. With good communications and understanding, a travel agent can best offer suggestions for a trip, complementary to the client, which provide important values that would not have been possible without the assistance of the travel counselor”.
Selanjutnya pada Bab I, halaman 5 dalam buku yang sama mereka menulis :
“ In assuming a full travel agency service posture, the travel agent becomes responsible for a vast complex of world travel arrangements for his clients. The skill and knowledge he must acquire, maintain and apply in the sales and arrangement of such travel details become a true measure of the usually enlargement, and in so doing the value to oneself, community, and the overall travel industry becomes proportionately greater in importance and scope.
Successful travel agency management today must be alert, well informed, knowledgeable, and willing to change and improve in order to do the job better.
Successful travel agents sense their responsibility to continually seek to improve their abilities through studies, seminars, meetings, discussions with colleagues, familiarization trips, and not infrequently from client opinions and reports on their experiences. A considerable amount of reading becames a normal agent habit”.
Kalau travel agent harus mempunyai pengetahuan dan pengalaman yang luas, tentu saja karyawannya harus memenuhi syarat-syarat tertentu pula untuk mengimbangi pengetahuan atasannya.

Sebagai orang yang bergerak dalam bidang usaha perjalanan wisata (travel business) hal-hal yang diuraikan diatas perlu mendapat perhatian kita agar dalam menyiapkan segala sesuatu yang dibutuhkan wisatawan dapat dipenuhi sesuai dengan selera mereka.
Terlihat ada kecenderungan pada sebagian karyawan biro perjalanan mendesakkan pendapat atau keinginannya kepada calon langganan/langganan ketimbang berusaha mendekati dan memberikan kepuasan sesuai dengan selera tamu. Bukan berarti ini hanya terjadi pada biro perjalanan saja, juga terjadi pada usaha-usaha lain di bidang pariwisata, misalnya di restoran-restoran, hotel, toko-toko dan sebagainya.

The Basic Sections of a Resume
The basic sections of a resume are the most important for you to focus on. Completion of the video will walk you through listing the name and contact section, your objective, your experience and your education.
1. Name and Contact Information
o This section of your resume is centered at the top. It contains your email address and phone number. Many are no longer listing their street address for privacy reasons.
o Answer the phone number on your resume professionally. It might be your future employer.
2. Resume Objective
o Never list a cliche on this part of the resume, such as, ‘To secure employment with a growing and dynamic company’. All you need to write in this section is the position you’re seeking. For example, you could write, ‘To seek a position as a video game programmer.’
o You need to know what you want. Conversely, you do not necessarily need to say so on your resume.
3. Resume Experience Section
o List your title, the company, and the city and state it was located in bold in this resume section. You should list intern or volunteer experience as a title. For example, an intern at a marketing firm could be listed as ‘marketing intern.’
o Match what you’ve done on the job to what the job ad is looking for. List all positions in this resume section in reverse chronological order, most recent first.
4. Resume Education Section
o This resume is at the top for new graduates with less experience. After a few years, it goes at the bottom, the experience section of the resume being first.
o Add training and certificates if you are a graduate student or have a degree in progress. Degrees in progress should be listed in this resume section with expected date of completion. If a certificate matches the job description, list it here.
