Why choose the subject? Tourism has been one of the UK’s great success stories over the last five years and as such offers a range of employment opportunities. While the UK economy has suffered since the start of the global financial crisis in 2008, the UK tourism industry has continued to grow strongly. Revenue from inbound tourism has increased by almost 30% since 2008 – meaning that the tourism industry is now the UK’s fifth largest export earner, generating £24bn per annum for the UK economy.
