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.
