Is Hospitality & Tourism related careers worth a try ?
I’m a middle school student; 8th grader in crane and I’m curious, would this career be worth giving an attempt? How’s the experience in careers that fall under it? Is it a good job category to view by chance?
If anyone had work under Hospitality and Tourism, could you share you’re past experiences in that career category?

Good Day Galylea! As a young boy I worked setting up restaurant tables in a hotel. The commodities that you may work with could be beverages, food and travel, or the media associated the marketing of these items. There is a whole culture of business surrounding these commodities which are highly sought-after entities.
Much work is devoted to the organization of the catering and the travel industries. There is plenty of employment involved with writing about hospitality and travel. There are some specialists in these pursuits! This often concerns and the design of blogs, media and websites around these pursuits There is much employment associated with these items.

I think it's a great field, and can often result in some wonderful opportunities to travel and see the world while working or with some discounts. For me, it also contributed to my world view today.
At first working in the administrative area of the travel industry, I gained exposure to various places as well as cultures. Customer service was also a skill that I was able to develop. There's a wide range of jobs such as travel agents, travel escorts, hotel personnel and tour operators. Perhaps you want to begin now by volunteering as a tour guide or something similar.
I spent many years in the travel industry and am grateful for the many experiences I had and the love of travel that I gained which I've now passed on to my family.
With every good wish and many blessings!
