Hello! My name is Vuyiswa Tom, and I am thrilled to introduce myself as your Business Travel Counsellor. Born and raised in the friendly city of Port Elizabeth, now known as Gqeberha, I am embarking on my first solo business adventure with Travel Counsellors. This journey is both exciting and hopeful, and I am ready to make your travel experiences seamless and memorable.
With a background in Travel & Tourism, I never imagined running my own business, but Travel Counsellors inspired me to dream big and take this leap. My career spans over 12 years, combining three years of hospitality experience and nine years in corporate travel. This blend of expertise gives me a unique edge in understanding and delivering exceptional customer service while tailoring trips to meet diverse client needs.
Travel Counsellors is a Level 3 B-BBEE business, and what gives me true confidence is knowing I’m backed not only by a network of fellow Travel Counsellors and dedicated TC staff, but also by robust financial protection in place should anything unforeseen occur.
I began my career as a Junior Consultant, quickly advancing to an Intermediate role before being headhunted by a competing company as a Senior Travel Consultant. Most recently, I worked as a Corporate Travel Booker, gaining invaluable insight into the preferences and priorities of business travellers. I understand the importance of proximity to meeting venues, the convenience of public transport options like trains and buses, and the need for efficient, stress-free travel arrangements.
What sets me apart is my ability to integrate business trips with personal experiences. Whether it’s extending your trip for a solo vacation or coordinating a meet-up with your partner, family or friends, I ensure your travel is not only productive but also enjoyable.
I am passionate about creating tailor-made travel solutions that align with your unique requirements. Let me take the stress out of planning your business trips so you can focus on what truly matters.
I look forward to hearing from you and helping you achieve your travel goals!
