FAQ
As a tour manager you are so busy that time goes very fast; you have a lot to think about and a lot to make sure is running smoothly. For some other roles it can be lonely. Tour managing is extremely exhausting mentally and physically. Often your average sleep time on tour is around 4-5 hours per night.
Long Hours and Workloads: Tour managers often work long and irregular hours. They are responsible for overseeing every aspect of the tour, from planning and logistics to problem-solving and troubleshooting.
As tour managers are responsible for holidaymakers throughout their tour, working hours are generally from early morning through until late in the evening, including weekends. You may be on call 24 hours a day, in case of an emergency.
It's easy to forget that managing a tour means going on tour oneself. Just like the musicians and crew members they manage, tour managers spend hours riding in cars, buses, and/or planes, work long days that continue well into the night, and sleep in hotels and motels in unfamiliar cities.
The life of a tour manager may seem exhilarating, but it's one that comes with significant stress. The relentless demands of artists, the long hours in production, and the time spent away from home are just some of the factors that weigh heavily on those in this field.
Most employers prefer a degree in business management, music, communication, marketing, entrepreneurship or a related area. To stand out among the competition, additional recommended courses include psychology, business law, logistics, accounting or tourism and travel management.
