What types of jobs are available in the holiday industry?

There are many different jobs related to the tourist industry. First of all, I can think of tour guides and people who work in travel agencies. They plan your holiday; they book hotels and flights for customers．Tourism creates jobs in hotels and restaurants so many people can be hired as cooks, waiters, accountants, and managers ． Many people also find a job in companies in charge of entertaining tourists ： if you want to go scuba diving in Hainan, you need an instructor, and someone to rent the equipment from. If you go skiing around Harbin, it's the same.

   What qualities and qualifications are needed to do them?
   

Well, it really depends on the job of course, but in general, if you want to work in the holiday industry, I think you should have good interpersonal skills．Communication is essential because you will meet many people from different backgrounds, and you should be able to adapt to their expectations and requests. In addition, tour guides, waiters, and anyone who serves tourists should be considerate and patient. You should be well-trained too, and it is possible to study tourism at university, in order to be fully qualified. Speaking English and other foreign languages would also definitely be useful.
