Busy month for travel recruitment
The number of new job vacancies in the travel industry jumped by 39 per cent last month, according to the latest figures from C&M Travel Recruitment.

There was also a rise in the volume of candidates being placed in new travel jobs during the month, with July seeing a 26 per cent jump from June. This was the highest total since March and was the third highest figure so far this year. July 2025's figure was also up by seven per cent from the same month last year.
Similarly, there was also an increase in the number of new candidates searching for jobs in the travel industry last month, with a six per cent monthly rise from June. However, last month's total dipped by 15 per cent from last July.
Speaking about the stats, Barbara Kolosinska, Co-Owner and Managing Director at C&M Travel Recruitment, said: "Considering the traditional summer slowdown, July was a very positive month for travel recruitment. We saw job placements, vacancies and new candidates all rising, which is the first time this year that all three metrics have increased in the same month.
"It's also very encouraging to see a rise in job placements compared to the same month last year – with August looking like it will improve on last year as well. With many candidates and decision makers returning from their summer breaks, these positive figures now put us in a healthy position as we head into the autumn months."
