Tourism the career opportunities are endless
There’s never been a better time to launch a career in tourism. From hotels, resorts, transport and travel, tourist attractions and adventure tours – the possibilities are endless to build a successful, lifelong career.
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.
A major pillar of the Queensland economy, tourism is now worth more than $27 billion and supports over 236,000 jobs state-wide – that’s one in ten Queenslanders.
Now is the time to discover the jobs and career opportunities in tourism and be inspired by Queensland’s Young Tourism Leaders.
