Testimonials
After having spent one semester studying in France, I decided to apply for an internship at Greatdays – a choice I would make again in a heartbeat!
I worked full-time for the Daytrips and UK departments, which has been a pleasure from day one. Obviously there were a few challenges in the beginning, and it took me a while to understand the IT systems, but everyone was always ready to help and answer any questions so I felt part of the team really quickly.
I have learnt so much in the past six months – from day-to-day operations, including loading bookings, liaising with suppliers, confirming tours and getting in touch with the clients to website work, writing tour itineraries and creating travel packs. Next to this, I attended a lot of meetings including 1-on-1s with our managing director Andy, departmental meetings and brochure meetings. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to go on a familiarisation trip to Chester as part of Greatdays’ new Manchester Sightseeing project, which was a great experience.
During my internship I had the opportunity to visit all the other departments, which was very interesting as I could see how each of them operated and – most importantly – how they all work together. This helped me a lot to understand how Greatdays works as a whole. Additionally, I got to work on projects for each department, and two of these were absolute highlights for me: first, for the European department, I was allowed to create a tour going to my home area in Germany. Seeing this being sent out as an E-Shot was really great! Second, as a Cruise Tourism student I was of course excited to work for the cruise department, and I was given a very interesting project related to Norwegian Cruise Lines which I enjoyed very much.
