Tourism officer

Tourism officers promote tourism and event-related economic growth in order to generate and increase revenue for a particular city, region or site

As a tourism officer, you'll be responsible for key areas such as marketing, visitor management and the development of tourism campaigns, products, services and facilities.

You can work for a range of employers, including public and private destination management organisations, public agencies or partnerships and local authorities.

The role is varied and may include many different types of work. At more senior levels, your job will involve strategic planning, particularly in local authorities.

Alternative job titles include destinations manager and destinations management officer.

Responsibilities

As a tourism officer, you'll need to:

• prepare and commission tourist and visitor information, including art work
• write press releases and copy for tourism guides and newsletters
• produce promotional material and design displays
• set up and attend exhibitions and holiday shows
• organise special and seasonal events and festivals
• develop e-tourism platforms, including websites, and construct business databases
• manage and coordinate tourism services publicity via a range of social media platforms, including Twitter and Facebook
• devise and plan tours and arrange itineraries
• liaise with local operators, the media, designers and printers
• manage staff, budgets and staff training needs
• order products and services
• provide funding and business advice and send e-newsletters to local businesses

• Senior tourism officer and management-level jobs are around £30,000 to £40,000. Jobs available at the most senior levels can be in excess of this amount.

Salaries vary depending on your experience, the type of employer you work for, the area of tourism and your location.

Income figures are intended as a guide only.

Working hours

You'll usually work a standard 37.5-hour week but may need to work some evenings when attending meetings, events and exhibitions.

There may be opportunities for flexible working.

What to expect

• The work is usually office based but may involve work outside and at different locations during the working day.
• The tourism industry as a whole has seen a significant decline in the number of jobs due to the effects of the pandemic and is currently struggling to recruit enough people into roles. The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) reports that existing labour shortages, combined with the difficulty of attracting new staff and the reduction in migrant workers, mean that positions are likely to remain unfilled for some time. However, this may affect the role of tourism officers less than some other areas of the industry.
• Setting up exhibitions and events may be physically demanding.
• Invitations to new exhibitions and entertainment venues can be an attraction of working in this industry.
• Absence from home at night and overseas work or travel may be required occasionally.

Qualifications

Although this area of work is open to all graduates, the following subjects may increase your chances:

• business/management studies
• leisure management
• media studies
• modern languages
• public relations
• travel and tourism management
• urban/rural regeneration.

A range of undergraduate (and postgraduate) qualifications is available in tourism, tourism management and heritage management. Research courses carefully and contact individual institutions to identify your areas of interest.

The Tourism Management Institute (TMI), the professional body for tourism destination managers, has a list of TMI Recognised Courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.

Personal qualities, skills and relevant experience, particularly of working within a customer-focused or tourism role, can be more important than your degree subject.

Entry without a degree or HND is possible if you have relevant experience in working with tourism businesses at a local, regional or national level.

Although you don't need a postgraduate qualification, a tourism or marketing qualification may increase your chances of employment if your first degree is not directly relevant, particularly if combined with relevant experience.

Search postgraduate courses in tourism, hospitality and event management .

You'll need to have:

• excellent communication, presentation and interpersonal skills in order to consult with a range of people, including local businesses, community groups and key stakeholders
• commercial awareness and an entrepreneurial approach to work
• customer service, marketing and PR skills
• organisation and planning skills
• wide-ranging IT skills
• the ability to use your initiative
• flexibility
• resourcefulness
• the ability to produce or deliver a quality product or service on a limited budget
• management and project management skills
• an eye for design
• an innovative approach to work
• local knowledge and a lively interest in the sector
• willingness to travel
• a driving licence - is not essential but can be useful.

Work experience

It's vital to get some relevant work experience as this is a popular career choice. You can do this in several ways, such as through a work placement or internship, holiday work, volunteering or casual work.

Working as a tourism assistant in a tourist information centre is particularly useful preparation for this role and may even lead to a tourism officer position. Other suitable experience includes working in a marketing, information or economic development role.

Working or helping out at any of the following is also helpful:

• commercial tourist attractions
• local authority leisure departments

Any ways in which you can develop good customer service and commercial skills are worth pursuing, such as working in sales, marketing or retailing.

Find out more about the different kinds of work experience and internships that are available.

You'll need to be proactive in your job seeking as competition can be fierce for tourism officer posts. Employers include:

• local authorities
• destination management organisations (DMOs) - see Visit Britain and the Scottish Destination Management Association (SDMA) for lists
• national parks
• business improvement districts (BIDs)
• wildlife trusts
• Forestry England
• National Trust and the National Trust for Scotland.

If tourism is a significant part of the regional economy, the local enterprise partnership (LEP) may prioritise the delivery of tourism within their strategic economic plan.

County, district and borough councils may employ tourism or marketing/visitor development officers to market and develop visitor attractions and tourist destinations.

Increasingly, most employers in this area expect post holders to become involved with economic development, strategic planning and regeneration issues, in addition to the more traditional tourism activities. Tourism officers, therefore, usually work closely with residents and businesses in a local community to support the local economy.

The private sector, which includes private heritage sites, visitor attractions and leisure companies, also provides employment opportunities. There may be opportunities to work for private development companies and consortia undertaking project marketing and development.

Look for job vacancies at:

• Leisure Media Jobs
• LocalGov Jobs
• Marketing Week
• Tourism Management Institute (TMI)
• Visit Britain - Careers

Professional development

Most of your training will be delivered on the job, usually when working with colleagues or by learning from the development of a specific project.

If you work for a local authority, you may be able to access council training programmes, in areas such as:

• funding applications
• report writing
• personal development
• presentation skills
• networking.

Private employers may fund training in a specialised area, as required by the demands of a particular project.

General and specialist training courses, seminars and conferences are available through key professional bodies such as the TMI and The Tourism Society.

Professional membership can also provide networking and other professional development opportunities.

Postgraduate tourism management qualifications are also available to develop a particular career focus.

Career prospects

It can take some time to get into a tourism officer role, so try to gain as much relevant on-the-job experience as you can. You'll typically start in an assistant role before moving into the role of tourism officer after gaining experience.

Once in post, you'll need to build up a track record of successful projects. As local authorities often employ only one tourism officer, opportunities to progress can be fairly limited without relocation.

With experience, you may be able to move into a managerial position, where you’ll usually work at a strategic level, with responsibility for budgets, staff and operations.

From this, it may be possible to move into senior management and work with a broader remit. For example, delivering growth and enterprise in a particular region. Roles at this level are scarce though, so you'll need to build up a range of experience to compete for them.

With enough experience and specialisation in a particular area, some tourism officers go on to work for private consultancies or on a self-employed consultancy basis. Possibilities include freelance marketing and consultancy work or setting up, developing and managing a tourist attraction.

You may find opportunities arise as a result of regeneration and economic development projects.

Mission Moscow : A Conversation with Evgeny Kozlov

Mr. Evgeny Kozlov, Deputy Head Mayor of Moscow Government and Chairman of the Moscow City Tourism Committee, who has come to the city to attain BLTM, the annual prestigious travel event at the Leela Ambience Convention Centre, Delhi spoke with TW Editor Anirban Dasgupta on his vision and goal with the all-new tourism initiatives in Moscow.  

The bond between India and Russia has a long history of culture, literature, love, and of course politics. But recently, there has also been a lot of talk about Gastronomical tourism. Any personal experience with this?

My personal take on the bond between India and Russia stems from my recent experience of trying authentic Indian cuisine in Moscow. I thoroughly enjoyed the spicy flavours of the Curry dish I tried and it left a lasting impression on me. This made me appreciate the cultural exchange between our two countries even more. I believe that Moscow, being a culinary hub, is a great place for people from all over the world, including Indian visitors, to immerse themselves in our rich history and culture. It’s a unique experience that brings people together and showcases the diversity of the gastronomic universe. Moscow has a thriving food scene with various international cuisines to explore, from Chinese to South African and Latin American. This culinary diversity reflects the open-mindedness and curiosity of the Russian people when it comes to trying new types of food. Moscow truly has something for everyone, and I encourage Indian tourists to come and indulge in this gastronomic journey.

  How optimistic are the post-pandemic recovery figures?

After the Covid-19 pandemic, we have witnessed a remarkable recovery in tourism in Moscow. In fact, we have been able to restore 90% of the pre-pandemic tourist flow. In the first half of 2023, almost a million foreign tourists visited Moscow, with over 600,000 of them arriving during the summer season. Among the non-CIS countries, China has led the way in terms of tourist traffic, followed by Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, and India. Prior to the pandemic, India’s tourist flow was steadily growing at a rate of 12-15% annually. Although we faced challenges during the pandemic, we have now put in place all the necessary conditions for a successful recovery. Moscow is known for hosting numerous international exhibitions, forums, congresses, and conferences, attracting approximately 3.6 million business visitors in the past year alone. Among these visitors, India ranks third in terms of foreign business tourists in Moscow. To further promote tourism, we have initiated the MICE Ambassadors training program in India, which aims to assist Indian businesses in exploring opportunities and selecting relevant events in Moscow.

  Can you please share your vision for future tourism development in Moscow?

Thank you for asking this question. I have a multi-faceted vision for the future tourism development in Moscow.

Firstly, I believe that tourism should provide a personal and authentic experience for each individual. Therefore, customization of experiences is crucial. For business tourists, we aim to offer special infrastructure facilities that cater to their specific needs and requirements. We are closely collaborating with infrastructure providers to ensure seamless experiences for those visiting Moscow for business purposes. On the other hand, when it comes to leisure or family tourists, we recognize the importance of providing a support system and guidelines for those traveling with their families, especially children. We are working with museums, theatres, and restaurants to customize their services and products to cater to tourists of all ages, including children. Furthermore, I envision rearranging tourism in Moscow to encourage visitors to delve into the history and heritage of our country. A significant part of my tourism goal is to motivate and inspire the youth and younger generations to travel to Russia. This involves providing affordable pricing for accommodations, entertainment, museums, and other attractions.

We are already constructing tailor-made infrastructure that specifically targets the young generation in Russia, and by next year, we plan to extend and promote these offerings to international young visitors as well. By rebranding the image of Moscow as a destination for longer stays, relaxation, and enjoying various facilities, we aim to change the perception that it is merely a transit or stop-over city. Lastly, the beautiful weather in Moscow during the summer months provides an opportunity to create delightful memories for tourists. I want every visitor to experience the sunshine, green landscapes, parks, cafes, restaurants, swimming pools, and sports facilities that Moscow has to offer during this time.

In summary, my vision for the future of tourism in Moscow revolves around creating customized travel experiences for every type of traveller.

How do you prioritize sustainability and responsible tourism practices in the development of business tourism?

How easy or difficult is it to get a Visa for an Indian Tourist at present?

Acquiring a Visa for Indian tourists has become easier with the introduction of the e-visa system. Since its launch in August 2023, more than 30,000 tourists have already utilized this system. The e-visa offers several advantages over traditional visas, such as avoiding the need to visit consulates or embassies. The application process only requires a digital photograph and a scan of the passport data page. The e-visa has a validity period of 60 days from the date of issuance, with a maximum stay of 16 days in Russia. This convenient and streamlined process is available to citizens of 55 countries, including India. Indian tourists are currently ranked third in terms of business travellers from outside the CIS countries visiting Moscow.

Mactan Expo Center to promote tourism, property development, jobs

CEBU CITY, Cebu (PIA) — The P.5-billion Mactan Expo Center that will soon rise in Barangay Mactan, Lapu-lapu City is seen to boost not just tourism but also land development and job generation in the region.

In his speech during the capsule laying ceremony for the center on April 27, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos Jr. lauded the project, saying that it will promote the city as a key tourism destination in the country.

“This township will further strengthen the city’s position as a major destination for key businesses in both the local and international market,” said President Marcos.

He also highlighted its future contributions not only in land development but also in building communities.

“We have long ago learned that it is not sufficient when you talk about housing or you talk about urban development, that you just build homes. You also have to build communities,” he added.

The Mactan Expo Center is expected to boost the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, and Exhibitions) industry in Cebu.

Seen to be completed in 2025, the facility is the first-of-a-kind development in Cebu as currently, there is no standalone convention center in the province.

Megaworld has employed 20,000 workers for the center’s construction, and is expected to hire more in the coming months.

Conducive for MICE events

Mark Anthony Ynoc, president of the Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc., believes the project would be beneficial for the entire Cebu island.

“MICE events would also contribute to employment in different sectors. Located right in the geographical center of the country, Cebu is a vital transportation hub for both domestic and international travelers which is quite conducive for MICE events,” said Ynoc.

He added that multinational companies with branches all over the country would prefer to converge in Cebu.

Lapu-lapu Mayor Junard “Ahong” Chan defines the project as a giant step towards tourism promotion and economic development potentials.

Chan said that with the rise of the new project, more opportunities will open for the local communities especially with the hosting of the ASEAN summit in 2026.

Hosting of large scale summits

Megaworld chief executive officer Kevin Andrew L. Tan said the Mega Expo Center is their answer to the president’s mandate to push the tourism industry further.

“We have been planning to build this convention center for quite some time now, unfortunately, it was shelved because of the pandemic. And I clearly remember you (Mr. President) during a conversation in a summit, saying that we need to have a venue outside Manila that can host large scale summits,” said Tan.

Tan said they aim to finish construction of the center by next year “in order to host big international summits and conferences.”

The two-level facility will offer almost 10,000 square meters of MICE space.

It will feature a convention hall for theater-style and banquet-style set-ups, which can be divided into three smaller halls. At the mezzanine level, the expo center will have two meeting rooms for smaller and intimate events.

Both the convention halls and meeting rooms will be equipped with fixed video screens, as well as state-of-the-art audio and visual systems, and video conferencing technology.

The facility would also feature sustainable design and comply with the requirements of the Philippine Green Building Council.

The four-level museum will house exhibit galleries showcasing collections, artifacts, replica mementos, interactive displays, and two performance halls.

Tan lauded the president’s governance and efforts in bringing in more investors and for always bringing the Philippines in the positive light.

“We get a lot of positive attention and we have seen a massive interest from foreign investors wanting to locate and wanting to open up townships across the Philippines. We are inspired to invest more. In doing so, this will capitalize economic growth, generate massive amounts of jobs for construction workers, BPO employees, hotel employees, as well as small and medium enterprises,” Tan added.
