Travel Agency Work Routine Vol. 8 | The Big and Small Entries We've Gathered Together Are All Our "Family": Hong Kong's Most Dedicated Family Travel Expert 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Many customers are looking for Travel Mama When planning a trip, the first question usually isn't about the price, but rather a long sigh: "I want to take my 70-year-old parents and 3-year-old son to Europe, but the thought of finding the way, finding a restroom, and carrying luggage already makes me want to give up... Do you have any suggestions?"

旅行社工作日常 Vol.6 | 莫忘初衷:Travel Mama 嘅第一個「私家小包團」🚗

今日喺 Travel Mama 呢個充滿 Home Feel 嘅雲端辦公室入面,我哋正忙住處理一個又一個去台灣秘境、秘魯深度遊或者歐洲嘅小包團行程。望住螢幕上面密密麻麻嘅司導聯絡清單,小編突然停低咗落嚟,諗返起當年,我哋接手嘅第一個「私家小包團」。

Last night, I was supposed to finish work at 8 pm, and I was thinking of finishing up a few customer inquiries before leaving. Around 8:30 pm, a couple suddenly came in and asked about a Singapore package that was departing in a few days. So, before I turned off my computer, I made sure to do it for them.

Travel Agency Work Routine Vol.5 – At the Turning Point of Time

In this fast-paced city where you can barely breathe, there's a travel agency called Travel Mama. This place is not only where I work every day, but also the factory where we turn everyone's "dream vacation" into a "real itinerary".

In the early morning, before the city is fully awake, our day at Travel Mama begins with the vibration of our phones. Back in the days of sleeping on the floor, we rushed back to open the door; now that we've transitioned to an OTA (Online Travel Agency), our work environment has a more homey feel. Although we can't sit face-to-face with customers, the absence of that cold, impersonal desk makes us feel more like family when we're all sitting together.

講起農曆新年,對好多人嚟講係「放假」,但對我哋嚟講,簡直係一場年度大比拼!由年廿八開始,全公司嘅 WhatsApp 聲就好似交響樂咁未停過:有客想臨急改機票、有客去到機場先發現護照過咗期(真係咩奇難雜症都有!),我哋成班同事真係要搏到最後一秒,確保每一位經我哋訂飛、訂團嘅客都可以平平安安出發,我哋先敢諗「收爐」呢兩個字。

所以,每一年嘅**「Travel Mama 團年飯」**,對我哋嚟講唔單止係食餐飯咁簡單,直情係一次「集體回血」嘅重要儀式!

Many people assume that working in a travel agency involves looking at beautiful photos and planning where to go. In reality, Travel Mama's daily life consists of a series of meticulous confirmations and a deep, attentive approach to our clients. Although we've transitioned to an OTA, losing the formality of opening the door to customers like we used to have a physical store, the workload has only increased. Every morning, what wakes us up isn't an alarm clock, but the WhatsApp notification on our phones. Because we handle many small private tours to Europe, due to the time difference, when our clients finish their day in Europe and are heading back to their hotels, it's morning in Hong Kong right there.

好多人以為轉型做 OTA 之後,大家各自喺屋企對住電腦,關係會變得好疏離。但喺 Travel Mama,我哋反而發展出一套更有默契嘅合作模式。雖然無咗實體地舖,但嗰份「我哋一齊幫客諗到最好」嘅團隊精神,先係我哋最值錢嘅資產。

每日朝早,我哋嘅虛擬辦公室就開始熱鬧。雖然見唔到面,但 Anson 依然會喺 Group 入面打卡,影佢嗰杯每日必備嘅港式奶茶;Susan 則已經默默整理好晒尋晚歐洲司導傳返嚟嘅報備。

Susan 嗰種一絲不苟嘅性格,喺我哋處理歐洲私家小包團嗰陣發揮咗最大作用。歐洲嘅酒店預約、火車接駁,錯一個字母都大件事。有佢喺度「執漏」,我哋成個團隊(同埋各位客仔)都覺得好心安。呢種「真人」之間嘅信任,係冷冰冰嘅自動化系統永遠俾唔到你嘅。

我哋老闆依然係嗰個極愛分享嘅旅遊發燒友。雖然依家無得一邊聽佢講故一邊望窗外,但佢成日會喺 Zoom 或者 WhatsApp 入面,分享佢以前喺歐洲踩場嘅奇聞軼事。呢啲「故仔」唔係廢話,而係我哋嘅靈感來源。例如佢講起喺南法小鎮邊條路最啱睇夕陽,或者邊間酒莊嘅老闆最客氣,我哋就會將呢啲細節融入去客仔嘅行程入面。對我哋嚟講,每一份行程表唔係冷冰冰嘅文件,而係一份充滿溫度嘅旅行邀請函。

旅行社工作

做旅行社最怕突發嘢,但呢啲時候最見到人情味。記得有次歐洲突然大罷工,Susan 同我哋老闆兩個人二話不說,自動自覺分工:一個去聯絡司機改道,一個去同客人解釋並安撫情緒。我哋老闆仲識得喺 Group 入面放幾首輕快嘅音樂,話要幫大家降吓溫。嗰份「你行前,我墊後」嘅默契,令我哋喺最忙亂嘅下午,依然可以維持住 Travel Mama 嗰份優雅同專業。

Travel Mama 嘅工作日常,雖然無驚天動魄嘅大場面,但見證住一個個家庭開開心心去完歐洲返嚟,收到佢哋一張簡單嘅多謝,嗰份「小確幸」就已經好足夠。我哋唔單止係喺度「打份工」,我哋係喺度守護緊每一位客仔嘅夢想假期。呢份由 2015 年累積到 2026 年嘅溫暖同默契,先係我哋喺雲端時代生存嘅最強武器。
