Job opportunities range far and wide to include media and marketing specialists, graphic designers, business managers, developers, hospitality roles, tour guides, pilots, flight attendants, cruise industry jobs, boat captains, finance specialists, travel agents and event managers.
With global tourism growth breaking records and Queensland’s tourism industry growing strongly, it’s never been a better time to work in tourism.
