As the economy continues to heal, more individuals are interested in traveling again, allowing the hotel industry to get back on its feet. Several hotel developers have announced their plans to create more locations, which could ultimately lead to more careers in hotel management. As the interest in certain travel locations increases, more areas are looking at investing more into tourism. A new luxury hotel and condominium building in Mount Washington, Pennsylvania, will hopefully bring more opportunities for careers in hotel management to the area, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. The project is estimated to cost $90 million. "This project is huge," executive director of the Mt. Washington Community Development, Chris Beichner told the news provider. "For that particular area, you're putting a large investment into a prime location, and it's going to be something that's very prominent for the city of Pittsburgh." According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, opportunities for careers in hotel management are expected to increase 5% by 2018.  |
