Exciting Jobs with Amazing Travel Perks (Updated)


Avatar photo Candlefox

Have you recently found yourself wanting a job that doesn’t require you to stay in the one place day after day? Well here are some great jobs that are quite out of the ordinary that will allow you to travel around from place to place on a usual basis.

Jobs that allow you to travel are an amazing way to kickstart a new career as there is always increasing demand for people willing to travel around.

Why Work in a Job That Allows You To Travel?

There are so many benefits for being involved in a job that requires you to travel around, and one of the main benefits is having the ability to experience and see so many different places; whether it’s domestic or international. Imagine all the different places you could visit from having a job that lets you see plenty of the world.

Another benefit includes the freedom to work in an environment outside of an office. Many people find themselves cramped and unable to focus when working in a routine workplace, and people who travel have the flexibility to be in multiple places over the course of a year.

Employed in the Tourism Industry in Australia

The Travel Industry in Australia: Where Most of the Perks Lie

The Tourism industry is one of the best areas to get into if you’re the type of person who loves travelling. The travel industry is also one of the biggest employers in the country. This shows that there is some great room for employment and growth in this area as tourism is an essential aspect towards strengthening the Australian economy.

Due to its labour-intensive nature, the tourism industry directly employs more than 550,000 people, five times more than the current boom sector, the mining industry.

– Tourism Australia


The travel and tourism industry is also very broad, with hundreds of employment areas, so no matter what interests you, you’re bound to find something that suits and reap the benefits of travel opportunities.

Tourism jobs in Australia include:

  • Tourism and Events Coordinator
  • Tourism Marketing Officer
  • Tour Administrator
  • Tourism Service Supervisor

These jobs are excellent if you’re looking to travel around. Becoming a tour guide in particular is an excellent way to include daily travel to your everyday life, allowing you to be included in a range of incredible environments that break the routine of regular work. Take part in hikes and tours to different places and educate other people on the environment in front of them. This exciting job would be an excellent way to join Australia’s growing industry, and with enough experience it could lead to you journeying to different places over time; and even overseas. This is an amazing opportunity that not a whole lot of people get.

A Closer Look at Tourism and Events Careers

There are plenty of other jobs outside of the tourism industry; one of the great unique and interesting jobs that involve travel includes Conference and Event Organisers.

What Does a Conference/ Events Organiser Do?

According to Job Outlook, some of the required skills include:

  • Promoting conferences, conventions and trade shows to potential customers
  • Responding to inquiries concerning services provided and costs for room and equipment hire, catering and related services
  • Meeting with clients to discuss their needs and outlining package options to meet these needs
  • Arranging and coordinating services, such as conference facilities, catering, signage, displays, audio-visual equipment, accommodation, transport and social events, for participants

Strong Future Growth


This growing industry has heaps of potential, with workers being allocated to move around to their clients which may be domestically or overseas. This exciting job would be excellent for you if you’re the type of person who has great organisation skills and a love for travel; and with the growing industry leaving plenty of room for employment, why wouldn’t you want this job?

The main focus areas include contact with other people (such as clients) and face-to-face discussions which allows a flexible environment for travelling to different places which is why it would make a great career change.

What Does a Conference/ Events Organiser Do?

There’s a reason why so many are drawn to careers that have great travel perks, but there’s a lot more reasons why these jobs are so sought after than just the obvious. These include:

  • Stress Management

    Travelling allows you not only to explore a different environment, but also helps you to develop your ability to respond to stress. Being in a different country can often be stressful, but only until you begin to appreciate how good a different environment and culture can be – ultimately this can help your stress as you begin to break away from the usual daily stresses you might find back in your hometown

  • Develop Creative Thinking

    Travelling inspires your creative-thinking skills and broadens your ability to focus on your work and tasks throughout the day. It can be a great break from the daily stresses you might often experience and so when you’re travelling for work, it can even become an effective way to have a break and improve your creativity

There are so many reasons why you should choose a travel-based job as previously mentioned; it will allow you to explore an array of environments that can help improve your daily life and even minimise stresses. Entering the tourism industry, which has so many emerging jobs, as well as Event Organiser Jobs, all have a very bright future for growth within the industry.

So, start looking for your next job in travel today and explore all the opportunities it has to offer.
