Career Perspectives
Are you suited to work in the tourism and hospitality field? Do you like working with people? Would you be genuinely concerned for a customer’s comfort, needs, and well-being? If you can answer in the affirmative, you may want to consider a career in tourism and hospitality. Familiarity with tourism, recreation, business and leisure equips one to pursue a career in a number of related fields. Even during times of severe economic downturn, tourism has performed very well. Tourism skills are critically needed, and there are many opportunities available in a multitude of areas. The range of jobs in hotels is extremely broad. General Manager, resident manager, management trainees, sales and marketing jobs and front office jobs are a few of the long list of potential jobs. Resorts tend to have similar jobs as for hotels; however larger resorts will have greater job opportunities and require more assistants in all areas. The airlines are a major travel industry employer, offering a host of jobs at many levels, ranging from entry level to top management. Illustrative jobs are reservation agents, flight attendants, airline food service jobs, sales jobs, training staff and research jobs. The cruise industry is the fastest-growing segment of the tourism industry today. Job opportunities include those for sales representatives, market researchers and recreation directors. Other major employers are food service, rental car companies, travel agents, tour operators, tourism and hospitality education, recreation and leisure, meeting planners and the gaming industry. To prepare our students to enter the industry we offer all the tools needed to write a proper CV, and how to prepare and perform in an interview. Our Alumni, with over 2500 graduates working in every corner around the globe continues its enduring effort to link present and former students, in order to create a huge pool of hospitality professionals who can benefit the global industry while contributing to their own career development.
