WHAT WILL THIS GROUP EXPECT FROM YOU WHEN YOU JOIN? We are looking for a very active, commercial role, with the ability to develop contacts autonomously inside different tour operators (as we said, mainly in the Canary Islands, and in the holidays segment, but not exclusively).

• A demonstrated ability to secure and manage agreements with tour operators, and close favorable deals with them.
