With the upcoming 2010 Olympic Games, and the goal of doubling tourism revenue over the next ten years, more and more jobs are going to be available in the tourism industry. Ensuring our labour force is ready for this expansion is a priority for COTA, and we have been working industry partners to tout the benefits of the tourism industry as a career.

Programs providing employment services in tourism include:

• go2: The BC tourism industry's human resources association
• Workable Solutions BC: Employment for Persons with Disabilities in BC
• Aboriginal Careers in Tourism
