Abstract

Over the past few decades, the tourism industry has attracted considerable political and research attention. Given the importance of tourism as an economic activity in Turkey and subsequent growth in tourism related employment, careers in hospitality industry are a significant option available to individuals seeking jobs within the Turkish labour market. Examining the careers of hotel managers can give valuable signals about tourism labour market behaviour and career development of hotel managers in different levels. The results of this research may shed useful information on tourism careers and hopefully enable employers to manage their tourism workforce better.
