Consultancy
As with other sectors, there are a growing number of consultancy jobs, but consultancy jobs in tourism specialise in conducting research, or providing specialist management and development services to a particular tourist attraction or a specific location. Typical tourism consultancy jobs include preparing feasibility studies, defining urban regeneration and rural regeneration projects or outdoor leisure and recreation management; tourism consultancy jobs can also offer tasks such as designing marketing and planning strategies, and preparing and appraising funding applications. Tourism consultants often enter consultancy jobs after gaining experience of specific areas of tourism, or by applying their expertise in finance, marketing or public relations to consultancy jobs. There is a massive increase in demand for consultancy jobs in eco-tourism, heritage tourism and sustainable tourism, and consultancy jobs in these expert areas are in high demand.
Consultancy jobs often start with conducting initial desk research programmes for clients. Consultancy jobs can include interviewing attraction visitors and tourists, or specialists, and making fact-finding visits to specific sites. Consultancy jobs in this area can include Strategic Planning, Business Planning, Tourism Statistics and Tourism Marketing. Many tourism consultants in consultancy jobs are self-employed. Other consultancy jobs exist within specialist tourism consultancies or within multi-disciplinary management companies such as the ‘Big Five' or boutique consultancies.
