There are over 650,000 people employed by the tourism and hospitality
industry just within Australia, so it is a huge and exciting business.
Tourism and Hospitality is a major boom industry and will continue to grow
rapidly. It is an industry which creates economic and employment
opportunities throughout Australia and the rest of the world, providing an
exciting and diverse career – with the prospects of travelling.
Tourism is travel, both local and international and includes travel agencies,
tourist information offices, tour wholesalers, attractions, events, meetings,
festivals and conventions and tour guiding.
Hospitality is the food, beverage and accommodation to both visitors and
local residents. It includes hotels, motels, resorts, restaurants, functions,
conventions, cafes, clubs and casinos.

skills are an essential part of working in the industry. These skills include:
good communication skills
a strong customer focus
smart presentation and grooming
organisational skills
ability to work in a team
ability to work well under pressure
