This Travel Agency Is Hiring a Remote Villa Reservation Agent in 42 States

Travel has its time and place, sure. But you enjoy the creature comforts of home life just the same.

World Travel Holdings, a cruise and leisure travel company, has an opening for a remote villa reservation agent. 

The reservation agent, or “Villa Specialist,” will work in the luxury division upselling high-end villa rentals to affluent clientele.

The company is looking for someone with a strong motivation to sell and knowledge of popular luxury vacation destinations, so the client can get the best recommendations for rental properties. 

Agents are required to work 40 hours per week during core sales hours. That includes Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. a.m. and weekends, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Unfortunately, residents of Alaska, California, Hawaii, Kentucky, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon and Pennsylvania aren’t eligible to apply. Here’s why some companies sometimes have state restrictions on work-from-home jobs. 

The company will provide all necessary equipment.
