How healthy is the UK travel job market?
The number of new travel job vacancies has reached its highest level for 19 months, according to the latest figures from C&M Travel Recruitment.
With a 25 per cent monthly jump, there are now more new travel job opportunities than at any point since February 2025.
September also saw a six per cent rise in new candidates compared to August, as well as a small 0.4 per cent rise from September 2025.
Less positively, there was a nine per cent monthly fall in the number of candidates being placed in new travel jobs, and a 21 per cent dip from last September.
Speaking about the stats, Barbara Kolosinska, Co-Owner and Managing Director at C&M Travel Recruitment, said: "It's incredibly pleasing to see there are currently more travel job opportunities than at any point since February 2025. With wages also rising, there is now a wide range of attractive vacancies across the travel industry. This is great news and should hopefully lead to a further increase in candidates in the coming months.
"What the travel recruitment market needs is consistency – and with vacancies increasing in three of the last four months, there are very encouraging signs that we will have a positive end to the year."
