JOB OPPORTUNITIES

MARKETING ASSISTANT

We require a person with knowledge of e-commerce and webdesign. He/She would be mainly responsible to generate sales through internet.

GUIDES

We are always searching for people willing to help and have fun.

Since Panama is not well known as a tourist destination we don´t encourage guides who are looking for gold to join us. Our tours are usually on weekends and with local tourism.

But, if you are identified with our mission, and if you would like to take an opportunity to visit "the new will be adventure destination,"  we do invite you to contact us. An arrangement to procure room and board for limited time could be work out.

Our busiest season is June-July and December-January. However, the rainy season peaks on October, the best time to paddle white water. We usually close most rafting activities from March through April, during dry season peak.

COUNTRY REPS

If you believe you would have fun selling and promoting our tours in your country we invite you to contact us. We do require candidates to have a good first hand knowledge of Panama, our tours and our operating procedures, be an established adventure travel business or an individual willing to set up an office to attend assigned local market.

STUDENTS INTERNSHIP

Worldwide students are welcome at Aventuras Panama.  The main requirement is that they should love the outdoors, speak english and spanish, be in their last years of study and wish to join us for more than 4-5 months.

"We spent an internship with Aventuras Panamá S.A. in 2001. Both of us were students of tourism management in Kempten, Germany. The internship was an obligatory part of our studies and lastet 18 weeks. The intership gave us a very complete view on how a tour operator works. We could get a good experience of both the administrative as well as the practical work at Aventuras Panama. It gave us the opportunity to work independently.

Nora Kluger and Michael Seiterle, from Germany, our first international student intership

We made experience in all aspects of running a tour operator e.g.: accounting, customer service, reservations, market research and marketing activities. Furthermore we planned, organized and accomplished outdoor itineraries. Hiring guides, providing all necessary food and beverages, preparing the equipment and attending clients was part of the work as well as postprocessing the tours and customer relationship management. The owner of the company, Javier Romero, always supported our work and gave us the chance to fulfill our ideas. Working for Aventuras Panamá was a very good experience to get prepared for our professional carrier in tourism business. We can recommend Aventuras Panamá to every student to get a realistic view on all aspects of running a tour operator."
