Outlook
Demand for this career is expected to grow faster than average. Growth in tourism and travel will contribute to this demand, however, the increasing popularity of short-term and vacation rentals is reducing the number of people who stay at hotels and motels.
Competition for jobs at large hotels that offer the highest level of guest services is expected to be strong. Opportunities at smaller hotels should be better. Job prospects will be best for those who have a college degree in hotel or restaurant management and experience in customer service.
