How about this?? The recent International Society of Hospitality Consultants (ISHC) Annual Conference in Miami, in a series of roundtable discussions, identified their Top Ten Issues in the Hospitality Industry for 2007.
From one to 10, their list included the following:
- labor and skills shortages;
- construction costs;
- technology and keeping up with it;
- changing demographics and their impact on travel trends;
- future of hotel profits;
- branding;
- distribution revolution;
- travel restrictions;
- global emerging markets; and
- capital availability.
Take note - labour and skills shortages in the top list! So really, if you want a job, hospitality is the industry for you - here in Australia or overseas... take on the challenge!

Yes, I agree that the tourism industry is continuing to grow each year. It is becoming one of the most important fields in today's society. For example, people are not only traveling for business but also for pleasure. The demand is growing each year. This article states some of key things the hospitality industry needs. However, I strongly feel that the labor storages and travel limitations will soon pick up for example. Today, the increase use of technology and the idea of globalization will help this industry grow to its fullest. The hospitality industry gives you so many different careers to pursue and I am glad that I chose to study tourism and hospitality.
