Intrepid traveller? (3)

I believe the answer is:

rep

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'traveller?' is the definition.
(travel company worker)

'intrepid' is the wordplay.
'REP' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rep that I've seen before include "Material for curtains" , "Stuff" , "Corded fabric" , "Travelling salesman" , "agent" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
