Abstract

This handbook provides students with an essential understanding of the skills and knowledge needed to work in the tourism, hospitality and events industries. It offers reflective, reflexive and critical analysis on personal, academic and professional development. Not only looking at how to develop the skills, attributes and prospects for employment in these competitive industries, this handbook also focuses on what the employers in tourism, hospitality and events sectors require of graduate employees. Highly illustrated, the chapters contain think points and activities, and case studies are integrated throughout offering first hand advice from both employer and graduate perspectives. The first book to focus on skills and employability in tourism, hospitality and events, this is a must read for all students studying these fields. © 2020 Miriam Firth. All rights reserved.
