What our team say
I joined the company 5 years ago as a Personal Travel Expert, and now I work in the Customer Experience and Legal team! There is always so much support and opportunity for progression, if you want it. If you love travel, there is no better choice.
What a team we have here at Kuoni - I can say passionately, I have met some of the best, brightest, and most talented people in my career which has spanned over 19 years in the industry. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kuoni as an employer.
I first joined Kuoni at just 17 years old and was able to try out different departments over the years to find the right fit for me, enjoying plenty of encouragement along the way. It is a social and friendly place to work and I have gained friends for life.
We are like a family here at Kuoni! There is a such a friendly and relaxed environment here which is probably the reason why people work here for many years. I would 100% recommend Kuoni as an employer.
