Free Online Videos on Careers in Tourism

I recorded a free series of videos for eHow.com and ExpertVillage.com on careers in tourism. Topic include local, domestic and international careers for tour directors, travel staff (incentive industry) and cruise line positions.

The series will also introduce you segments of our industry most in the US know very little about, as careers with tour operators, incentive houses, destination management companies, student tours, adventure tours, faith based tours, receptive services, pier staff and more. Even if you’re not interested in leading tours there are positions in accounting, marketing, sales, operations, IT , administrative assistants, reservations and etc.

I love working in tourism and hope the series helps.

Here's one of the most realistic articles on our career I've read. Thank you to Ann from "Thetripchicks.com" for passing it on. Ann met Rita while they were both on tour last year.
I hope you enjoy it.
