Urgent Need for Tourism Workforce Training in Australia

Despite optimism about the increase in tourist arrivals in Australia, the need for investment in the tourism sector's workforce is highlighted. The lack of training and development for staff is considered a major problem affecting the quality of services provided and the sustainability of tourism businesses. The importance of the management's vision and its transfer to the staff is emphasized, as well as the need for continuous performance evaluation and process improvement based on customer feedback. It is proposed to establish legislation for the categorization of tourism businesses and the certification of staff according to the requirements of each category.
