Fancy becoming a strictly confidential TravelMole Secret Agent?
The Mole is certain that everyone has a secret desire to be a bit of a sleuth, a bit of a James Bond like character, a real secret agent…….well, now is perhaps your chance, well nearly.
Sorry, we can’t guarantee any fast cars or beautiful girls or guys, trips to Monaco, clever gizmos, nor will we be calling you 007 or 003 and a half, but we are seeking a new range of highly confidential and very secret, undercover TravelMole contributors, TravelMole Secret Agents, to join our ever growing band of professionals committed to The Mole’s policy of telling it the way it is……….rather unusual in this industry we are afraid!
There are only a few conditions and firstly be reassured that we are not going to do anything totally illegal as The Mole does not want a phalanx of lawyers letters arriving every week [we get enough of those anyway – you would be surprised!]
Another condition is that we will not reveal the names or any information about our TravelMole Secret Agents and neither will you at any time reveal to anyone that you are a TravelMole Secret Agent.
If either of these happens your days as a TravelMole Secret Agent are over.
So what sort of TravelMole Secret Agents are we looking for and what sort of things can you report on?
We anticipate that TravelMole Secret Agents will works at the hard end of the industry, right at the coal face, at all levels, subject to all the frustrations and problems that professionals who work in the modern travel and tourism industry face today.
Now, that does not mean that you would be senior or junior and you can be either. We just want you to be well informed with a view and some information about any topic that you want to communicate to TravelMole subscribers in Australia and the wider world and begin discussion and commentary from others in the industry who might have a similar view or of course a view to the contrary
You might be a travel agent or the owner of agencies or senior in an agency group, you might be a tour operator, hotelier or work for a tour operator or hotel or say in car rental or an airline, or even government………….you might be in senior management anywhere in our industry or a hard worker right at the industry’s coal face, in fact you can be anyone who has something to say about their job, the organisation they work for, the industry at large or any aspect of it – the field of topics and you becoming a TravelMole Secret Agent is as wide open as the range of TravelMole subscribers, which cover every aspect and corner of our great industry.
The key issue is that a TravelMole Secret Agent needs to be a real person and tells it like it is – pulls no punches, reporting or commenting from the field, perhaps also from FAM trips, from the office, from home, from conferences, from aplane, a hotel, etc, etc.
You might simple want to blow the whistle on something or someone that is irritating you or that you think others in the industry should be aware of!

TravelMole does though reserve the right to edit your articles or contributions [remember those lawyers letter that we don’t want arriving] and also TravelMole reserves the right not to publish any material it consider inappropriate, defamatory or potentially illegal in any form or not to publish your material at all.
