 <a id="main-content" tabindex="-1"></a>Our research reveals that the projected employment for the sector into 2025 will be more than 700,000 people. However, many of those jobs will be filled through attrition - meaning employees will leave one tourism employer to join another. This will result in a vacancy rate of over 45,000 unfilled jobs. These vacancies are predicted to be particularly acute in:

- Outdoor sport and recreation guides
- Food counter attendants, food service supervisors, kitchen helpers, supporting occupations in accommodation, travel, and facilities set-up services
- Tour and travel guides.

Our research identifies several key challenges that the industry will need to navigate:

- Changing employee perspectives and retention challenges will require dynamic leadership skills
- High operating costs and inflation demand careful financial planning
- Ensuring affordable housing has become a top priority
- Accessible and efficient transportation remains an ongoing necessity
