Influence the growing tourism industry with a degree in Hotel Management

Unlike many industries, the tourism sector is thriving amidst the rocky terrain of 2018. Rising global incomes and changing consumer demands towards luxury and sustainable tourism means more people are taking holidays than ever before.

In fact, the tourism industry has been steadily growing for the past 10 years, according to Statistica. The global sector is now worth over US$2 trillion more than it was in 2006, and it’s showing no sign of slowing down.

Thanks to the growing industry, travellers can now explore even the most remote corners of the earth. From hiking holidays with native tour guides to beautiful beach resorts with impeccable service, the hospitality sector has never been more varied or dynamic.

It can be hard to choose where to go when the world has so much to offer – but fewer places than Australia tick all the wanderlust boxes.

From beautiful beaches, natural adventure playgrounds, bustling cities and hidden lagoons, it’s not hard to imagine why Australia’s tourism industry was valued at AU$41.3 billion (US$30.6 billion) in 2017, up 6 percent on figures from the previous year.

Australia’s visitors are as unique as its landscape, and each person will be looking for something slightly different from their travels. But there is one thing they all have in common: they want lasting memories with a special touch.

Everyone wants to leave their getaway feeling pampered, indulged and relaxed. This could be a specially requested cocktail for one person made just the way they like it, or a personalised itinerary that makes the most of their time for another.

No matter what the individual desires to make their trip a unique holiday experience, customer service is bound to be at the heart.

The personal touch that professionally trained hospitality staff can offer is what every holiday-maker craves. Of course, breath-taking landscapes and interesting activities also play a part, but the unique feeling of being treated like royalty for a few days is one that can never be replaced.
