HTFO | May 13, 2015 | Comments 10
The tourism industry has experienced sustained growth over the past six decades, and has become one of the largest and fastest growing economic sectors in the world. According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), tourism is responsible for 6% of the world’s exports, 9% of GDP in terms of direct, indirect and induced impact, and 9% of jobs worldwide.
If you work in the tourism industry, you help support the billions of people who travel at home and abroad each year for business and/or pleasure. The industry is divided into different career areas, and jobs can be found in accommodation, food and beverage services, recreation and entertainment, transportation, and travel services. Jobs range from operational (e.g., tour guide) all the way up to executive-level positions (e.g., hotel general manager). Looking for a job in tourism? Here, we take a look at five websites that can help you get started.

You can also refine your search by specifying a position, skills or company, and by entering a location (city, state or zip).

Search jobs by keyword, country, city and state; or by top 10 jobs and featured employers, including Crowne Plaza, MGM Resorts and Universal Studios.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Worldwide, international tourism receipts reached nearly $1.16 trillion (yep, that’s trillion) during 2013, according to the most recent data available from UNWTO. Millions of people around the world work in the tourism industry, behind the scenes and on the front lines, to support the billions of people who travel each year for business and pleasure.
The websites listed here are only a few of the places online to search for jobs in tourism. Online aggregators like Monster.com and Indeed.com also post jobs (try entering “travel and tourism” in the search box, or a specific job title – like “chef” – to find jobs). Remember, you can also look for job postings on employer-specific employer websites if you have a company (or companies) in mind. Outdoor adventure company Nantahala Outdoor Center (www.noc.com), for example, named “One of the Best Outfitters on Earth” by National Geographic, maintains an updated list of both seasonal and year-round jobs open at its main campus and various outposts throughout the Southeast.
