Tourism Graduate Jobs Philippines 2022 – Best Entry Level Positions

By   Global Strategic

June 12, 2022

TOURISM GRADUATE JOBS – The tourism industry in the Philippines is up and running again as lockdowns ease up and as a result, more jobs are opening for fresh graduates from tourism courses this 2022.

Based on an article from Philstar, the country’s tourism industry generated $41 billion in 2021. Overall, this amounts to a 129.5% increase in revenue since the 2020 lockdowns began.

Meanwhile, the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) forecasts a fast recovery thanks to borders opening up both locally and internationally. With this, comes several job opportunities for tourism grads – even those with no experience!

So, if you have a passion for all things tourism, then finding a career in this industry may be the perfect fit for you. Now, without further ado, here are the best entry-level jobs for tourism graduates in the Philippines.

Entry-Level Jobs for  Tourism Graduates i n t he Philippines This 2022

Previously, “tourism” only applied to jobs found within the “tourism industry”. However, thanks to advancements in technology – there are several areas of tourism that you can get into that you might not even think of.

Generally, fresh graduates go for jobs within the Tourism Management sector. On the other hand, there are those who go into Tourism Marketing, Tech-based Tourism, Revenue Management , and much more! The best part is that jobs within every sector of the tourism industry are definitely among the most in-demand jobs in the Philippines this 2022, creating a strong demand for qualified applicants. After graduating from your tourism course, you can easily apply for the following jobs:

• Receptionist / Front-Desk
• Events manager
• Hotel or resort manager
• Housekeeper
• Tour operator
• Tourism marketing manager
• Travel agency manager
• Tourist Information Centre manager
• Accountant or sales manager
• Guest relations manager

Career Opportunities Within the  Tourism Industry For Fresh Graduates

With the rapid growth of the tourism industry and technology – several career opportunities are opening up for tourism graduates. Aside from the common jobs in the industry, jobs that use technology to supplement tourism are gaining popularity.

Thanks to social media and new technology, more and more businesses within the tourism sector are relying on technology. From professional business-related trips to vacations with your friends, technology is there every step of the way.

A decade ago, tours and trips used to be planned by booking an agency over the phone. Now, you can easily book a flight, a hotel, and a tour from the tip of your fingers. Moreover, social media sites made vacays more accessible to the masses. Social media also changed how the tourism industry advertises. Taking all this into account, new branches of tourism emerged that focus more on the use of technology. Some of these include:

Tourism Marketing

Marketing is a powerful tool in every business. Having good service is one thing, however, if you can’t connect with your audience, then that’s going to be an issue.

This rings especially true for the tourism industry. Every day, new tourism-related businesses are popping up everywhere. You’d see small resorts opening, hotels near the beach, tour operators, and more.

But, with the rapid growth of the industry also comes more competition. For that reason, Tourism Marketing and learning new trends, and strategizing outreach campaigns are needed for a successful business. For many as well, their tourism education is a stepping-stone to a more traditional office-based career rather than the travel aspect of the curriculum. Often tourism grads have the right personality, communication skills, and enthusiasm to succeed with foreign companies, especially in the Business Process Outsourcing industry.

BPO Jobs For Tourism Graduates

For the travel and tourism industry, good customer service is what defines a business. In this highly competitive sector, the way you interact with clients can make or break your reputation.

Poor reviews, bad customer service, and slow response rates are among the few things that a business doesn’t want to get associated with. To offload this burden and avoid potential reputation and delivery problems, businesses both locally and internationally turn to BPO companies to handle many of these tasks.

However, customer service isn’t the only job available for tourism graduates in the BPO industry. You can also become a virtual assistant for foreign clients in the travel industry, conduct competitor research, data entry, and more.

With the background and education that a tourism grad brings to the table, it’s easier for them to build rapport with clients or customers. Here are some of the jobs you can get as a fresh graduate of tourism in BPO:

Call Center Representatives

Having a job as a call center representative  is one of the best entry-level jobs for fresh graduates in the Philippines. Because of the rapid growth of BPOs, more job opportunities are opening within the call center space.

Furthermore, as CSR jobs become more competitive, the salary has definitely increased. For tourism graduates, the work you’d be doing perfectly aligns with the lessons and skills you’ve learned in class. Instead of working in a hotel, airline, or resort, you’d be working within a BPO company that can provide better security, more incentives, and stronger career path options.

Back Office Associates / Virtual Assistant

Another popular trend within the BPO industry is getting a job as a Back-Office Associate or virtual assistant. A Back-Office Associate or BOA helps companies in several industries with administrative tasks.

There would also be cases where you talk and help your client directly. Among the common tasks assigned to a Back Office Associate  include the following:

• order processing
• online research
• customer service
• virtual reception
• handling appointments

So, now that you’ve learned about the best tourism graduate jobs in the Philippines, Global Strategic wants to hear from you.  Apply today  and become part of our ever-growing team! Talk to our Recruiters about any of our available roles and determine which is the right fit for you.

Hello . Dagdag kolang po , Morena po ang kulay ko at 5’2 lang po yung height ko.. hindi po ba ako naiiba kasi eh dba po ang tourism is matangkad maputi at maganda ? pero Dream kopo kasi maggng flight attendant eh , gusto kong mag travel at I know na may skills ako kaht na hindi ko complete sa qualifying appearance ng tourism …

Hi, Niksdc017!

Right now, we’re not aware of any programs that would automatically qualify a graduate of any particular school for a position at Philippine Airlines. From what we have seen from job advertisements in the past, companies don’t require applicants to be a graduate of any particular course or school as long as they meet the company’s requirements. So far, we haven’t encountered any companies that specifically require applicants to be beautiful or look a certain way. Instead, what they usually require is that applicants look presentable at all times. We haven’t encountered any clause about complexion, either. The height requirement is usually strict, though, because height can affect the attendant’s ability to perform their job. Still, if being a flight attendant is your dream, you might want to search around for companies that have lower height requirements. Requirements sometimes vary depending on the company, so it might be worth taking a shot.

Hello . BS Tourism Managment po course ko . Pag graduate kopo ba sa Wesleyan University Philippines eh mag kakaroon poba ko ng Job sa Philippine Airlines ? 🙂

Hi pwedi po bang magenroll pa sa pup kung 2years grad. Ako?

Magkno ang tuition fee ng hrm sa arraulio university cabanatuan?

Hi po. I’m a 4thyear student. Di ko pa po alam kung ano kukunin kong course. Kasi po nag dadalawang isip po ako sa tourism. Ask ko lang po kung makatapos po ako ng BSTM magiging isang turista lang po ba ko? And sabi denpo kasi ng teacher ko dati ang tourism and HRM daw po ay para sa mga mahihina ang utak lang?

Hello please answer this Talaga po bang kailangan matangkad at maganda,??? I have problem about my teeth so I’m gonna get braces for good sabi ng Friends ko dapat po maganda ang ngipin, totoo po ba yon? Kahit alam kong may skill naman ako

If you were referring to becoming a flight attendant, some companies do have specific preferences when it comes to physical appearances. For that, we suggest you check out their job advertisements to see what their usual requirements are.

If you were simply referring to enrolling in BS Tourism Management and pursuing the whole bunch of other jobs that it may lead you to, we believe that’s not really the case, especially if your skills, qualifications, and experiences are up to their standards.

Added information lang: sa kahit anong course ng PUP ay P12 lang per Unit and as far as I know walang maintaining grades ang Tourism. Hindi po ganun kahigpit sa requirements kaya po ako nakapasok xD (2nd year tourism student na po ako sa PUP) hehe.

good pm po anu po requirements pag grad na ng vocational tpos mag aaral ulit.gusto ko po ksi mag aral

hi po:) Ask kulang po itong Curriculum list for BS Tourism Management is only for a major subject right? do you have a minor curriculum list for Tourism Management? and i ask lng po na grad. po ako ng associate of HRM then kung mag transfer po ako dito s pup, meron po bang maintaining ng grades na dpat po ba no lower than 2.0? meron po kasi akong planned to enroll this coming 2nd semester.

Hi, Pathrick!

Nope. It includes both minor and major subjects. You can get a copy of the curriculum from the CHED website; however, it only contains the list of the recommended subjects — not necessarily the actual subjects that the school you’ll be enrolling at will require you to take — so it’s best if you’ll ask the school directly.

We’re not really sure about the “maintaining grades” part, so we suggest you ask PUP directly so they can give you a more accurate and detailed reply.

hello i just want to ask kung kailan po pwede mag exam this year ?

Excuse me, I just want to ask what are the requirements of this course for the students.

Hi, Shainna!

Requirements vary per school, so it’s best if you’ll contact the school you wish to enroll at so they can give you a more accurate and detailed reply.

Sa Batangas state university po

Hello po! 🙂 Magkano po tuition fee ng bstm?

Hi, Evangilen!

Tuition fees may vary per school, so we suggest you contact the school where you are thinking of enrolling at so they can give you an accurate and more detailed reply.

Hi, im wondering if height and looks really matter when it comes to taking BSTM, my height is 5’0 and i hope im qualified taking BSTM.

That would depend on which particular job you intend to pursue after you graduate. As far as we know, employers that are looking for tourism officers and tour escorts are not very particular with height and appearance as long as you have the skills and qualifications. Flight attendants, however, are required to meet specific height requirements and possess certain physical attributes.

I just want to know, is clear vision also a requirement?

So far, we haven’t heard of any such particular requirement. We suggest you still contact the school you are thinking of enrolling at to be sure, though.

Hello, i wondering if height and looks matters when it comes taking BSTM, my height is 5’0 and i hope im still qualified to that course.

May I ask, What are the qualifications an individual must carry in order to pursue this course, BSTM? And also, are there many job opportunities that would await me if I took this course? I’m currently in senior high and I am interested to pursue course, but carries the fact that Im still quite not sure, Thats why I visited your site to get an answer to my questions. Thank you in advance. 🙂

Hi, Ysabella!

Thank you for visiting our site.

If you meant educational attainment and things like that, any high school graduate can take the course. If you meant skills or attributes, having good organizational skills, communication skills, analytical skills, and multitasking skills would help.

You can get an idea of the number and kinds of jobs waiiting for tourism graduates from this page: http://job-search.jobstreet.com.ph/philippines/job-opening.php?key=tourism+management&location=&specialization=&position=&ss=1&by=search&src=11

good pm po hndi po bshrm yunq kukunin kunq course bstm po !

Oh, sorry. Our mistake. You can find the list of the schools that offer BSTM on the post above. You can get their contact information from there.

Alternatively, you can also browse through our partial list of schools and their entrance exams for 2012. We haven’t updated it yet, but it might help give you an idea of their schedules. http://www.courses.com.ph/category/entrance-exam/

You can find the entrance exam schedule on this page: http://www.prc.gov.ph/contact/default.aspx

Hi, Shamae!

We’re sorry but we have no available information regarding the tuition fee for BS Tourism in PUP. You can find the standard tuition and miscellaneous fees that PUP imposes on this page: http://www.pup.edu.ph/Accounting/StudentServices/Fees.aspx , but for more specific details, it’s best if you’ll contact them directly so they can give you an accurate and more detailed response.

papaano po ba mag-inquire sa school na po ito ? at magkano po ba ang tuition fee dito , umaabot po ba sa magkano ?

Hi, Terence!

Just click the name of the school you want to enroll at and you’ll find more information about their contact information as well as their examination and admission requirements. We don’t have available information about their tuition fees, though, so it’s best if you’ll ask their official representatives for details.

Good luck! 🙂

Beryl maps show path and landfall forecast of tropical storm that could become a hurricane again

By Cara Tabachnick , Emily Mae Czachor

Updated on: July 5, 2024 / 2:37 PM EDT / CBS News

Beryl  made landfall again as a hurricane Friday morning on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula and was on a path that could bring it to Texas early next week, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said, after the storm blew past the Cayman Islands and Jamaica. It initially made landfall Monday over the island of Carriacou in Grenada while tearing through the Caribbean , strengthening at times to a Category 5 hurricane — the  strongest rating .

What is Beryl's projected path?

The hurricane center said Friday's landfall was just northeast of the resort town of Tulum.

After passing over the Yucatan, Beryl was expected to "emerge over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico tonight and then move northwestward toward northeastern Mexico and southern Texas by the end of the weekend," the hurricane center said.

"Continued weakening is expected as Beryl crosses the Yucatan Peninsula today, but re-intensification is expected once the center moves back over the Gulf of Mexico," the center noted.

"Heavy rainfall of 4 to 8 inches with locally higher amounts is expected across portions of northeastern Mexico and South Texas by Sunday into the coming week," the center said.

As of Friday afternoon, Beryl's center was about 65 miles east-southeast of Progreso, Mexico. It was traveling west-northwest at 15 mph with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph, making it a tropical storm.

A tropical storm warning was in effect for the Yucatan coast in Mexico west of Cabo Catoche to Campeche.

Will Beryl hit Texas?

CBS affiliate KHOU-TV reported  that whether Beryl  crashes into Texas  depends on how much strength it loses as it goes over land, as well as conditions in the Gulf of Mexico in the coming days. 

One key factor will be how wind shear affects Beryl.

"Will Beryl maintain a Cat. 1 hurricane strength as it makes landfall in the Yucatan?" KHOU-TV meteorologist Kim Castro asked. "Or will the unfavorable conditions — more sheared winds in the Caribbean — help weaken it enough that it's not much of anything when it gets to the Gulf."

The hurricane center urged people in southern Texas to monitor Beryl's progress.

Where is Beryl bringing rain and flooding?

Beryl was forecast to bring dangerous hurricane-force winds, storm surge and damaging waves to the Yucatan Peninsula. 

"Beryl is expected to produce rainfall totals of 4 to 6 inches, with localized amounts of 10 inches, across the Yucatan Peninsula, with scattered instances of flash flooding anticipated," the hurricane center said. 

Beryl became the  first hurricane  of the 2024  Atlantic hurricane season  on Saturday and rapidly strengthened. It first reached Category 4 on Sunday, wavering back to Category 3 before returning to Category 4 on Monday and then becoming a Category 5 later Monday night. It is the first major hurricane east of the Lesser Antilles on record for June, according to Philip Klotzbach, Colorado State University hurricane researcher.

Brian McNoldy, a tropical meteorology researcher for the University of Miami, told The Associated Press warm waters are fueling Beryl, with ocean heat content in the deep Atlantic the highest on record for this time of year.

Beryl has also set records  as the first June hurricane ever to hit Category 4, the farthest east a storm has ever hit Category 4, and the first storm before September to go from tropical depression to major hurricane in under 48 hours, CBS News weather producer David Parkinson reported.

Beryl was also the earliest Category 5 hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic basin and was only the second Category 5 storm recorded in July since 2005, according to the hurricane center.

Caribbean braces for Hurricane Beryl as Category 3 storm approaches

Beryl is expected to slam the Lesser Antilles with potential “life-threatening” impact, but residents and tourists were cautiously optimistic Sunday.

Hurricane Beryl was approaching the Caribbean with maximum sustained winds of 120 mph early Monday — leading islanders to prepare for the violent Category 3 storm to strike later in the morning.

The National Hurricane Center downgraded Beryl from a Category 4 in its 2 a.m. Monday update .

Beryl was expected to move across the Windward Islands on Monday morning and through the southeastern and central Caribbean Sea late Monday through Wednesday, the Hurricane Center said. “Life-threatening” winds and storm surge were also expected early Monday.

Hurricane warnings have been issued for Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadine Islands, Grenada and Tobago, while tropical storm advisories stretched as far north as the Dominican Republic and Haiti. The Hurricane Center is expecting a storm surge of 6 to 9 feet, as well as 3 to 6 inches of rain.

By late Sunday, much of the region had shut down public life, closing storefronts and requiring residents and tourists to take shelter indoors.

Researchers have been warning for months that the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season could be one for the record books, and now it is: There is no precedent for a storm to intensify this quickly, nor reach this strength, in this part of the ocean in June. Records date from 1851.

Grenada entered a state of emergency Sunday evening as a precaution for the storm charging its way, and Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell urged the island’s 125,000 residents to stay home. St. Lucian Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre said a national shutdown in the country of about 170,000 would begin at 8:30 p.m. Sunday. The St. Vincent and the Grenadines Meteorological Service issued a flash-flood warning to its 100,000 residents.

In Bridgetown, the Barbadian capital, Doriel Gill-Skinner spent Sunday telling others about a neighborhood shelter that’s available for those that need it, she told The Washington Post. The storm wasn’t expected to hit the island for several hours, but by early afternoon she had prepared her grab-and-go bag of nonperishable food items, water and a change of clothes, and busied herself by readying her neighbors.

“The mood in the community is calm and confident,” she said. “We are taking the storm seriously and are prepared for it.”

At midday Sunday, Michael Tiller was looking at blue skies and calm, clear water from the patio of a rented vacation home in Barbados. “You can’t really tell there’s a hurricane coming,” the Michigan resident said. “It’s a really beautiful day out here.”

Tiller plans to hunker down as soon as the winds pick up. The property managers of the home he is sharing with his family for the week boarded up the windows and glass doors earlier Sunday. The family is bracing for strong winds and power outages, but Tiller said he isn’t too concerned. The family is planning to return to the United States on Wednesday.

Nauman Khan, visiting from Toronto, spent most of Sunday exploring Barbados with his wife and two children. Like Tiller, Khan said there was little to suggest that a major storm was on its way.

“It’s been mostly sunny the whole day, with a slight breeze — a quintessentially Barbadian day,” Khan said.

But the winds began picking up in the late afternoon, and his resort on the southern end of the island told guests that the on-site restaurant would stop dine-in services. Customers were asked to spend the remainder of the evening in their rooms.

“I haven’t seen any panic,” Khan said. “The DJ is still playing. The bar is still open.”

Over the weekend, Beryl strengthened quickly. It went from a tropical storm to a Category 3 hurricane in 36 hours and intensified by 75 mph during that time. According to Sam Lillo, a researcher at DTN Weather, that level of rapid intensification has never happened in June and has happened only twice in July.

There is a firm link between rapid intensification — the strengthening of hurricanes — and human-induced climate change. Ocean waters are running 3 or 4 degrees above average, reminiscent of August rather than June.

Before now, the Atlantic had only seen two major hurricanes, rated Category 3 or higher, in June — Audrey in 1957 and Alma in 1966. The Atlantic’s Main Development Region, between northern South America and Africa, was believed to be inhospitable to major hurricanes during June — until now.

In the center of that path, Grenadians were preparing for the worst and hoping to avoid a repeat of 2004’s Hurricane Ivan, which killed at least 37 people and damaged 90 percent of homes on the island.

Kitaka Chakumba Mawuto recalled that during that storm, he and his family watched the roof fly off their home before they rushed to a neighbor’s house.

“It was traumatizing, but it brought us together,” said Mawuto, 30. His family had no idea what they were in for during Ivan, but he is better prepared now. He hopes authorities are, too, he said.

Several islands north, in St. Lucia, Rhyesa Joseph said Sunday that she has prepared as much as she can, ensuring all her electronics are charged and setting aside essentials. She’s more worried about the safety of others on the 28-mile-long island and what the storm will leave behind, she said.

“I am very concerned about the economic implications of the hurricane, the damage to infrastructure, the food insecurity it may cause,” Joseph said. “We know what has happened to our neighbors because of hurricanes, and we ourselves have experienced Hurricane Tomas and other storms.” Hurricane Tomas killed at least eight people in the Windward Islands before killing 35 more in Haiti over about a week in 2010. It caused about $336 million of damage in St. Lucia.

Still, on Sunday afternoon, Joseph said it was “a quintessentially beautiful day,” and the weather was sunny and hot.

“Literally the calm before the storm,” she said.
