Client: Fáilte Ireland, National Tourism Development Agency

Tourism Development International has been appointed by Fáilte Ireland to carry out the Tourism Employment and Training Survey for the three year period (2008-2010). The purpose of the survey is to provide data on employment issues in the tourism industry and, in particular, to track changes in employment numbers and the structure of employment. The survey also seeks to establish the training and professional development needs for each of the main sectors of the tourism industry. The main quantitative phase of the Tourism Employment and Training survey is carried out online with a sample of 1,200 entrepreneurs drawn from Tourism Development International’s tourism industry database.
