If you have a warm, welcoming personality and would like to live in a different country, you have come to the right place with our list of the 9 highest paying countries for hospitality and tourism.
Tourism is a massive industry all over the world. Being a tourist and enjoying all the sights and sounds that come with visiting a new country is one thing, but catering to those tourists is a whole different ballgame. There’s nothing worse than going on vacation and not receiving good service or hospitality. I love to travel all over the world, and my experiences are always made better by coming across hospitable people. It seems, to be great in the hospitality and tourism field, you must love working with people, have a positive attitude, and have an accommodating spirit. It probably also takes a ton of patience to deal with the guests who are not so lovely or easy to deal with. When I hear “hospitality and tourism”, I (like many people, I’m sure) immediately think about hotels. However, like I said, the industry is massive and encompasses much more than just hotels — including everything from casinos to food and beverage industries.
