Abstract:

This paper identifies issues to be considered in ensuring the education and training system can respond to emerging skills demand in the travel, tourism and hospitality industry. Improving the perception of this industry as a career of choice is important with particular attention paid to promoting the skilling of existing workers and developing the information and communication technology space. The paper highlights that stronger partnerships between training providers, business and industry peak bodies will be vital to these developments.
