People who travel a lot understand the need for comfort in accommodations and courteousness on the part of tourism employees. They expect to settle into clean rooms that are furnished with the essentials - shampoos, soaps, towels and more - that they need. If the staff members who serve them aren't knowledgeable, kind and interested first and foremost in providing them assistance, they might find places where they are provided a better quality of customer service.

Some people might enjoy traveling so much that they might even consider pursuing a hospitality degree. This degree can lead to careers in management, marketing or operations. Some careers in hospitality include casino and gaming supervisors, hotel concierges and event planners who coordinate everything from meetings, conferences and workshops to weddings and anniversaries.

Low hourly wages accompany many travel and hospitality careers. Because of this, people who want to earn a decent living in the industry might find a college degree to be the gateway of doing so. In addition to benefits like dental and health, people who work in the field might also be provided discounts on dining, lodging, transportation, attractions, transportation and more.

Gambling laws vary from place to place, and there are locales throughout the world where graduates with hospitality degrees might find work in casinos or hotel casinos. These locales extend beyond Las Vegas and Atlantic City - to parts of Maryland, even, where a new college program is keeping up with a growing number of gambling offerings.

A Las Vegas university has partnered with the Maryland college to make its casino management program available to students. Hospitality degrees also are available as part of online offerings, such as one that a Massachusetts university makes available to students who have Internet access and want flexibility in their course schedules.

There are also institutions that specialize in hospitality degree offerings. One university with at least four locations throughout the country calls itself the "hospitality college." This particular university offers Bachelors degrees in everything from baking and pastry arts and food service management to sports/entertainment/event management and international hotel and tourism management. Graduates have gone on to work as executive vice presidents and international directors of hotels, sports advertising and promotions managers and founders and managing partners of restaurants.

There are a good number of employees in travel and hospitality; nearly two million of them worked in lodging facilities alone a few years ago. People who are entering the workforce for the first time tend to obtain jobs at resorts, hotels and motels. The largest share of people who work in the gaming service, some of them supervisors, also tend to work at hotels, because casinos are often within them.
