Victoria’s tourism industry is growing and so are the opportunities.
If you’re finishing school, looking to change career, returning to work or simply looking for flexible work that fits your lifestyle, the Choose Tourism Careers Expo was your chance to learn more about the wide variety of positions available to you in tourism.
Attendees chatted directly with employers, found real jobs, discovered training pathways, and heard how people just like them had started (or restarted) their careers.
Tourism is back, and it’s bigger than ever. Victoria’s visitor economy needs more great people to help the industry continue to grow. From the city laneways to the High Country, tourism is a great choice for people who want to grow, change or build a career.
It isn’t just hotels and hospitality. It’s major events, festivals, food and wine trails, eco-tourism, wildlife parks, travel marketing, destination management, adventure guiding, and loads more. If you’re creative, outdoorsy, social, practical or love planning, there’s a niche for you.
For those looking for roles that connect with people, offer unmatched flexibility, or utilise their skills in beautiful environments and vibrant, exciting workplaces, tourism is the industry for you.
Real jobs. Real pathways. Ready when you are.
From casual to career, discover real roles and future opportunities from the exhibitors you’ll meet at the Expo.
Tourism isn’t just one job — it’s an industry of hundreds of pathways. The Jobs Board features live roles from Expo exhibitors and across Victoria’s tourism sector.
Meet the employers at the Expo, get your questions answered, and apply for real jobs on the spot, or start a conversation that leads to your next big step.
No experience? No problem. Many roles include training or on the job learning.
Attendees at the 2025 Emerging Tourism Leaders Summit developed their leadership skills, connected with industry, and were inspired by the people driving change across Victoria’s visitor economy. The program included keynote presentations, workshops, and networking with sessions on leadership, career pathways, and key visitor economy trends.
