Travel employees 'need positive attitude'

People looking for work in the tourism industry - which may include those working in hotels, spas or bed and breakfasts - should arm themselves with a positive attitude, one sector commentator has claimed.

Indeed, it could be said that no matter what the quality of spa supplies or hotel supplies on offer to guests, good customer service is what will really stand out during their stay.

A spokesperson for UKinbound advised customer-facing travel employees that a positive attitude could be an essential part of the job description.

"Good personal presentation and a lot of commonsense to be able to handle any situation that they may experience," he added.

According to the latest Reed Job Index, there has been a recent increase in the number of jobs becoming available within the leisure and tourism industry.

This may have been caused as the low value of the pound saw tourism numbers rise.
