Question

I need a job in a hotel or travel agency or the airport or anything in tourism. where can i find one?

Answer 1

What you are asking is very open ended. If you just want to work in a hotel, like at a front desk, in housekeeping, etc, then just contact some of the big hotel chains.

If you want to work for an airline, go to the airloine web sites and click on the spot for human resources or employment.

If you want to be a professional travel agent, that's another thing. In the US you need to first either attend travel school or work for a period of time for an authorized travel agency. In the travel business there is an agency (ARC = Airline Resettlement Commission) which controls all of the distribution of travel funds and you must be a member in order to participate. You gain that participation by schooling and work in the business. Then you need to join a travel association, like ASTA or CLIA, which show you are a professional travel person.
You should look into attending a travel school like maybe Carlson Travel. There are several others that are nationwide(see web site below). I attended Carlson and they offer full time and part-time classes. Once you finish the school, they will help you with placement, finding a job. You really need to work in the business under an
agency for a while to learn how things are done. Once you finish schooling and or
your apprenticeship, you are assigned a CLIA or ASTA number. That number is your
ticket to getting paid.
