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?

It's all a lie. KPMG apparently haven't disbanded their TLT Consulting division -- here's the groups webpage. I'd be interested in where else I could find opportunities like this, though.

What a good idea to create a thread connected with job search. In case a company is looking for a teacher of French as a foreign language for its teams (or even an airline company whishing to train its FAs...), you can find infos on my home page...

Thank you for the time you spent to read me...

EDS services the transportation industry. Among others, EDS does work for US Air, Continental, and last year they bought a chunk of Sabre (I don't recall which chunk). In the UK I think they work with BA.

I thought Coopers (OK, now PriceWaterhouse Coopers) had a TLT practice. But of course since I still think of them as Coopers, my information may be out of date too.

I worked in consulting for Price Waterhouse and we had a practice, which I believe it considered the best. I believe the contact is in Manhattan on Avenue of the Americas.

I understand that Radisson/GoldPoints is in need of some management consulting.
