Influences on Career Development in Australian Tourism. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Oct 2008, Pages: 404
The purpose of this book is to provide information on
career development in the tourism industry. As
tourism is still an emerging profession, careers have
yet to be clearly defined and career paths are not
easily identifiable. It is therefore useful to
explore the issues which are important for those who
are currently in the tourism workforce and for those
who plan to undertake careers in tourism. It is
clear that the role of formal education and
on-the-job training is important and the need to
change job, organisation, industry or geographical
location is also influential on the development of a
career in tourism. It is suggested that careers in
tourism are influenced by a variety of mentoring
relationships and that although structured mentorship
programs appear to be unavailable to many in the
tourism industry, mentorship in the form of informal
and networking relationships assists career development.
