| Field Sales Field Sales manages and develops relationships in two main areas. The first is with corporate customers, primarily companies whose employees engage in a significant amount of business travel. The second area is the leisure sector, where we work closely with travel agents and tour operators. In some regions, such as UK & Ireland, each area will be handled by a specialist team. In other places, such as the Caribbean, the same team will work across both sectors. Either way, Field Sales is a dynamic, fast moving environment where there is a strong element of personal accountability. Depending on the size of the market and its current state of development, sales teams can be either office based or work from home using laptops. Our Field Sales operation breaks down geographically by area into the following regions: UK & Ireland, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Northern Europe, Africa, Middle East & South Asia, Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America & the Caribbean.
