Tourism - Career Know-How

If you enjoy travelling, working and interacting with people from all walks of life and have a knack for coming up with creative and innovative ideas, a career in the tourism industry may just be for you.


The tourism industry provides many different job opportunities ranging from managerial positions at resorts, hotels and tourist attractions, marketing managers responsible for coming up with new ideas and initiatives within the industry, as well as becoming a tour guide, travel agent or cruise ship worker. Some of these jobs are accessible without a degree or diploma but will then require working from the bottom up, possibly spending many years to reach your goal. A degree in Tourism often allows you to start in a higher position within your chosen field. Just remember, as with any job or career, you will most probably start as a junior, but at least you will not have to spend years working your way up to even that junior position.

 

Working in the tourism industry provides such a variety of career opportunities that can suit almost anyone. If you prefer not to travel, you can find a job in this sector in your own country. If you care deeply about the environment, there is an opportunity to make a positive change wherever you’re working by coming up with new ideas and campaigns that you can present and recommend to private businesses as well as the local government wherever you decide to go. 


With a degree in tourism, you have access to as much of the world as you want while also picking a path that suits not only your personality but also your values and lifestyle, which sounds pretty good considering that a lot of people have a deep need to see more of the world. There’s a word for that feeling, it’s called Wanderlust; and if you’ve experienced it, this degree might just be perfect for you!
