Challenges of a tourism job

The big hurdle facing anyone entering the tourism sector right now is the coronavirus pandemic. It has forced many tourism operators to focus on attracting local people, and getting tourists to holiday at home can be tough. But workers who can generate ideas and solve problems are highly-prized.

The industry also revolves around people having time off from work and school – jobs in tourism will typically feature night, weekend and public holiday shifts.
