Industry

The hospitality, leisure, travel and tourism sector covers 14 industries:

Hotels, restaurants, pubs, bars and nightclubs, contract food service providers, hospitality services, membership clubs, events, gambling, travel services, tourist services, visitor attractions, hostels, holiday centres and self catering accommodation.

Each industry is in many respects unique, but each has in common the provision of food, drink, accommodation and leisure activities. The sector is closely bound to ensure a high standard of customer service and a quality ‘visitor' experience. The visitor is at the heart of the sector and further synergy is found in common vertical and horizontal ownership, which means that many operators can be found in more than one industry.

Individual Industry Profiles have been produced for the vast majority of the 14 industries. These outline their scope and characteristics as well as their key skill needs.
