Our long-standing brand Unique Japan Tours is continuing it’s transition to our new brand identity Oomi Travel, and we are growing the business to deliver travel experiences in new destinations beyond Japan.
As such, we are actively looking for talented and enthusiastic people to join our team!
We are currently seeking job applications for:
- Senior Travel Consultant
- Accounts and Finance Administrator
- Digital Marketing Executive
Company Overview:
Oomi Travel is the new face of Unique Japan Tours and Japan Ireland Travel (Japan and Ireland Tour Operating businesses established in 2005). The company was created by Darina Slattery, who grew up in Ireland but calls Japan her second home for these past 25 years.
Darina and her team have planned thousands of bespoke, corporate, and small group tours to Japan and Ireland since 2006. This new chapter plans to develop India and Iceland to begin with, by partnering and hiring destination specific travel consultants. These new characters will be part of Oomi’s journey towards developing a niche portfolio of inaccessible destinations for a global travel audience.
Oomi’s sole purpose is to curate unique, bespoke, one-of-a-kind travel experiences for individuals and groups wanting to learn more than the regular app or city tour will give you. With our vast range of local contacts in each destination, we guarantee you will dive deep into cultures, uncover hidden gems, and craft trips that dreams are made of.
What makes Oomi stand out is our well-established global client base and active audience who seek a five-star personal travel service specific to their needs. Japan may be their first Oomi destination, continuing to Ireland, India and others in the years to follow.
