Create a Career that Fits Your Life
(ARA) - Many people dream of a career change, but job forecasts can
be disheartening, especially if you are looking for a fun, flexible
career that allows time for family obligations. But one industry is
booming -- travel. Right now business is growing for travel
professionals. And that includes tour directors.

"A lot of people think tour directing means spending months away from
home in far off places. That isn't always the case," says Ted Bravos,
founder of the International Tour Management Institute (ITMI), a
state-certified school for training professional tour directors and
guides. "Many jobs are available for tour directors in cities across
the U.S."

Women in particular are reaping the benefits of travel industry
opportunities. As tour directors, schedules can be custom tailored to
coincide with summer vacations, weekends, or child-care hours.

"In many industries, women feel that taking time for family can
hinder their advancement and income potential. That isn't the case
for tour directors," says Bravos, who has been training tour
professionals for more than 25 years. "You can take time off for
raising a family or pursue other professional interests, and pick
back up later. For people who love to travel, it's a great way to
share that passion with others while creating a personally rewarding
career."

It can be lucrative as well. Tour directors receive approximately
$150 to $200 per day, plus all expenses. After becoming certified,
tour directors can work as much or as little as they choose. "Many
students, especially women, come to our classes worried that they
don't have enough work experience to make a viable income," says
Bravos. "Perhaps they've been out of the work force for a while, or
they are interested in changing careers. But tour directors don't
face that kind of glass ceiling, because where and how much a tour
director works is completely up to them."

"There are so many different ways to create a travel career," says
tour director and ITMI graduate Joemy Wilson. "A tour director can
travel around the world or stay at home. They can work full-time or
as little as they want. It's perfect for people who enjoy meeting new
people and learning about new places." Wilson began leading tours in
New England and has since taken groups to Europe and is currently
training to bring travelers to Russia.

Wilson describes her job akin to being a party host. She makes sure
everyone is having a good time and getting the most out of their
travel experience by working to keep everything running
smoothly. "This industry really values life experience, because the
most important traits of a good tour director -- personable,
responsible, curious -- can't be taught from books. I've been an
instructor for ITMI and there has been a surge of women in their 50s
and 60s taking our classes. Being a tour director allows these women
to travel the world for free and gives them the flexibility to work
when they choose. And ITMI gives its students such a head start in
the business because of its wide network of contacts in the
industry."

opportunities, log on to www.itmitourtraining.com or call the ITMI
