Tourism - it's the largest and fastest-growing industry in the world - and it's one of the largest employers in Canada and BC.
In Canada, over one out of every 10 workers is employed in the tourist sector - that's about 1.7 million people.
BC's tourist industry currently employs about 220,000 people. Provincial government studies project that figure will climb to 300,000-330,000 jobs in the coming years, largely driven by interest and activities connected with the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver-Whistler.
The Hotel and Restaurant Management Program offers great ways for you to start your career. You'll gain valuable industry contacts while participating in special events and projects. You'll meet major employers at our major Spring career recruiting fair - operations such as Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, Sandman Hotels, and - if you like travel - Disney World Florida.
