Roles:

happy thought they holiday. This includes checking on the guests regularly to ensure
that they don’t have any problems and that if they do then it is solved quickly and
effectively. Holiday reps can also look after guests by staying with them and ensure
that they have a good time.

resort.

essential that they receive the best customer service at all-time throughout the trip.

trust the representative and allow them to deal with the situation. This may be
complaints or in resort issues. The holiday rep needs to deal with this effectively and
