Sector insights

It’s an exciting time for learners to begin a career pathway in travel. The sector is expecting a huge bounce back following the impact of the global pandemic, including the return of more than 100m jobs.

Alongside the revival of international travel, domestic tourism is also flourishing due to the increased popularity of ‘staycations’ at home in the UK over recent years.

A recruitment boom is on the horizon, and we want to help learners to be ready and equipped to seize these opportunities.

Our travel qualifications provide routes into higher education, with Level 3 attracting UCAS points and support from leading universities, as well as pathways into the workforce. We also provide a range of smaller, supporting qualifications in the sector, including aviation, business travel and resort representatives.

We’re proud to say that our qualifications provide some of the best routes into the travel and tourism sector.
