What will you do as a travel specialist at Van Verre?
As a travel specialist, you have made several long-distance trips to Latin America, Africa or Southeast Asia. With your knowledge of the destination(s) and your enthusiasm, you will help our customers realize their dream trip. You can discuss the desired travel components by phone. Once all travel wishes are clear, you can start working on a suitable travel proposal. You work out the request and after booking, you reserve the travel components with our local agents. Once all the confirmations have been received, you take care of the travel documents. And when your customer is back home, you’ll be curious to hear their experiences and experiences first-hand!
In addition to the sales activities, you and your colleagues are also involved in the content of the product of “your destination”. You ensure that you are aware of the developments in the countries for which you are (partly) responsible. You will consult with our local partners to keep the offer at the destination up-to-date and you can use your creativity in coming up with new products and writing promotional texts for the travellers of the future.
In our way of working, we always try to go the extra mile. We put together trips in which everything is possible. Personal contact, both with the customer and among each other, is very important to us. In addition, we are fully engaged in (personal) developments.

What we offer:
- A varied position with enthusiastic colleagues in an informal and pleasant working atmosphere

From Far in a nutshell:
Van Verre was born out of passion and that still dominates our family business to this day! All destinations have been personally visited by us, in short: we have a lot of knowledge in-house. Personal contact with our customers is really important to us. ‘Know your customer’ is leading, because only then can you put together a truly tailor-made trip. In addition to Van Verre, we also added the Special Traffic and KidsReizen brands to our portfolio in 2021, focusing on Retail (Special Traffic) and tailor-made trips for families (KidsReizen).
