Many jobs still emphasise the soft skills that come from customer facing roles, but the increased prevalence of robotics, augmented and virtual reality and immersive experiences in the T.H.E sectors means digital literacy and IT skills provide further pathways for those wanting to work in visitor attractions and events. Management careers can take you into specialist roles such as marketing, HR and finance.

You can also explore careers in fields as varied as destination management, transport, accommodation, bars, corporate hospitality, commercial catering, data analytics, conferences and exhibitions and crisis and project management.
