According to the Jobsora employment portal, as of the second half of March, the tourism, hotel, and restaurant sectors were among the top ten most full of job openings. The category ended up at the bottom of the list with a total of 149.1 thousand ads.
This field has long held a strong position in the labor market, making training in the relevant specialties in demand. According to the platform, the best chances of finding employment in the industry are in the country's capital, which accounts for almost a quarter of all job offers. The demand for this field of work is almost three times lower in St. Petersburg than in Moscow, despite the fact that this city consistently tops all Russian tourism rankings. This is due to the difference in the size of the two major cities and the respective number of tourism and food service facilities.
The top ten cities with the greatest need for tourism professionals include Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk, Kirov, Omsk, Krasnodar, Nizhny Novgorod, Yekaterinburg, and Izhevsk. Chelyabinsk, Kazan, Ufa, Samara, and Tomsk also offer good employment opportunities. Most of the job openings are for tourism managers, with the top salary range reaching 140,000-150,000 rubles.
Given the wide variety of jobs in the tourism industry today, job seekers face a significant challenge monitoring the sector using disparate sources of information. This task is much easier with specialized job portals, where information from all regions of the country is not only compiled into a single database but also carefully organized. This latter aspect allows for quick and easy navigation and finding suitable opportunities in a particular city.
To avoid getting lost among thousands of tourism job postings, job seekers can use specialized tools. Typically, a single website offers a search bar, a sorter for positions by several characteristics, and a filter. If you want to eliminate all unsuitable options at once, it's best to use a filter with its numerous fields to specify the ad characteristics you're interested in.
