The national information resource on careers with languages

Travel & Tourism

The ease of modern travel means that there is more contact than ever with tourists coming to this country, and for those in the industry more contact with customers and suppliers abroad. Being able to welcome people in their own language – whether that be through road signs, printed material or giving advice – makes a crucial difference to how we are perceived as a nation. And with one of the world’s biggest sporting events on the horizon – the Olympic Games – the need to improve and employ our language skills has never been greater.
