Unemployed Britons are being offered the chance to apply for a dream job - getting paid to go on holiday.

Lastminute.com is looking to appoint a 'Globe Trotter' to review some of the world's most desirable cities and finest hotels.

No experience is necessary and there are no qualifications for the role, reports the Daily Telegraph.

The company hopes the job will give the opportunity of a lifetime to one of the millions of people left without work in the financial crisis in Britain.

Their reviews have to cover flights, hotels, restaurants, concerts and theatre shows from all of the destinations they visit.

The selected person will travel more than 32,000 miles, spend over 60 nights away, and visit at least eight major cities, including New York, Paris, Barcelona and Las Vegas.

Although they will not receive a salary for their three month tour, the entire £20,000 cost of the trip will be covered.
