Welcome to the National Tourism Careers Expo where you can get involved and get active in the exciting tourism industry!

Who we are

The expo is a platform for learners, students and unemployed youth to learn how to follow a career in tourism. This is an opportunity for the youth to be seen and be heard.

The first tourism careers expo was held in 2008 in Durban, with over 15 000 visitors. It is the largest expo of its kind in South Africa, targeting high school learners, tertiary students, graduates and school leavers.

This event presents an unmatched opportunity for companies, industry groups, employers, training institutions and many others to promote and brand their company or industry. It provides organisations the opportunity to connect directly with tomorrow’s workforce and provide employment and career information as well as guidance to prospective employees.

The expo aims to present tourism as a sector that:

• is growing internationally and that has overtaken most other sectors in South Africa
• is still driven in the main by human resources and is therefore able to create jobs like no other sector can

When and where

The National Tourism Careers Expo is happening from 17 to 19 September 2009 at the Durban Exhibition Centre.
