Job search...

Like so many on this board, I would love to work in a job which allowed me to use my travel industry knowledge for good instead of evil. Realising that there are quite a few people on this board who do work in the travel industry, I was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction for a career change.

I'm currently a management consultant for an IT integration house, having trained at KPMG before moving. KPMG used to have a travel, leisure and tourism group within their management consultancy -- this group was business-focused, not operations-focused, and in many ways was the ideal sort of environment for someone with my skills as a career move.

Sadly, KPMG decided about three years ago to pull out of the TLT market and disbanded the group.

Where else might I find consulting groups that offer TLT companies business advice? Do any of the big five still retain TLT groups? Are there niche players who still retain a business focus, or are the specialists more technical/operational in practice?

And most importantly, what do the job prospects in this sector look like?
