Unit VIII Assignment

Identify a career area in tourism you would like to explore. For example, meetings, resorts, conventions, theme parks, gaming, and so on. Using the CSU Online Library, explore your selected career area and opportunities. Identify four sources with at least one from a trade publication and one from an academic journal. Two databases that have potential for resources are Regional Business News and Business Source Complete, however, do not let this limit you. Prepare a report of your findings addressing the following:

1. Describe your career area.

2. Summarize the articles you have found and the authors’ perspective of the career area and potential.

3. Prepare a conclusion of your findings. Is this a viable career choice for you? Why or why not?

Your response should be a minimum of two pages in length, not counting cover and reference pages. Use APA style when writing your review. Cite any direct quotes or paraphrases from the articles, and include all references used in a references page.
