Have you ever heard of an all-inclusive vacation? There are some resorts that offer everything—hotel, food, entertainment, and tours. To make these operations run smoothly and allow guests to have the best getaway experience they can, many different jobs are required.
In this activity, you will pick one type of all-inclusive vacation. Research an example of the vacation destination you have in mind and list the amenities that are offered.
See if you can identify at least two careers from the Arts, AV Technology & Communication Cluster and two from the Hospitality & Tourism Cluster that all work together in this resort.
For each one of your four careers, take a few minutes to research more about the role they play, as well as what a person would need to do to get started in this career path.
Let's consult our handy reference, the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Outlook Handbook, once again to find more information. This time check out the headings “How to Become One,” “Pay,” and “Job Outlook” for each career you choose.
Once you have gathered the career information on the professionals you might find in your all-inclusive resort, it’s time to put your research to use. You will create a flyer for your resort, introducing guests to each person who will play a part in making their stay memorable. On your flyer, include a name (you can make one up) and title for each person. Explain in one paragraph under their name a little bit about what they do at the resort. Under that paragraph, include a paragraph with a quick (imaginary) biography that showcases the person’s education and career path.
Your flyer below should include the following elements:
Employees who represent two careers from the Arts, AV Technology & Communication Cluster
Employees who represent two careers from the Hospitality & Tourism Center
One paragraph under each explaining the job duties of the employee
One paragraph under each with a short bio of the employee
