The industry has two separate sectors - commercial services that work directly with the public - eg hotels, restaurants, guest houses and bars - and catering services providing services to other organisations such as hospitals, schools and businesses.
Travel and tourism is now considered to be the largest single business in the world in terms of people employed and money earned - and there are plenty of opportunities for well-qualified people locally, nationally and abroad.
Sport and leisure is a dynamic and fast-c hanging area and a serious economic activity that is not just about taking exercise but involves the manufacture and marketing of sports, goods, sponsorship, media coverage and retail services.
