C&M Travel Recruitment and C&M Executive Recruitment’s Travel Salary Index found average earnings of a “standard” travel job, defined as paying up to £40,000, rose by 7.81% to £26,337 last month.
Calculated using all new vacancies registered during January, the figure represents the highest recorded wages since the index began in 2012 and is only the second time the £26,000 barrier has been breached.
However, a lack of high-paying executive placements saw salaries as a whole fall by 2.73% in the same period.
