Travel sector to recruit 100 staff

Thriving sales this year have led a number of airlines, travel agents, and tour operators to launch a nationwide drive to recruit more than 100 staff.

One of the largest sectors recruiting are travel agents, who have seen a large increase in business in the first quarter of this year.

Pat Dawson, the chief executive of the Irish Travel Agents’ Association (ITAA), said members are searching for 25 people to fill positions across a broad array of roles, from sales to administration.
