What is Hospitality & Tourism?
The Four Pathways
- Restaurants and Food/ Beverage Services - Lodging - Travel and Tourism - Recreation, Amusements and Attractions
My Best Choice
Employment Outlook
Travel and tourism is one of the largest and fastest-growing industries in the world. Each year, travel and tourism employers around the world pay more than $1.6 trillion in wages and salaries and create 12.5 million new jobs. Beginning salaries depend on the employee’s skills, education and job level at a hotel, restau- rant, tourism office, recreation facility, amusement park or attraction site. Salaries range from entry-level wages to six figures. This industry is known for promoting within and for its large number of young managers.
It's close between travel and tourism path and the recreation, amusements, and attractions path, but travel and tourism is what I think my best choice would be for this career cluster. My best job choices would be tour guide or event planner.
- Restaurant Owner - Executive Chef - Bartender and Server - Front Office Manager - Event Planner - Tour Guide - Travel Agent - Club Manager - Resort Instructor
