This Channel presents information for occupations defined as part of the Tourism and Hospitality sector in the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO). This involves broader occupational coverage than the definition of Tourism in the Tourism Satellite Account (TSA), where the focus is on the Tourism component. Please see the 'Introduction' section (below) for further details and links to the relevant pages at the ABS website.

Introduction
The Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) identifies the proportion of direct employment in tourism by industry. No comparable measure of tourism employment by occupation is available. However, using the broader ANZSCO Tourism and Hospitality sector occupation grouping, an estimate of Tourism and Hospitality employment by occupation can be obtained.
While this overstates employment estimates for Tourism and Hospitality, this is offset by not including more generic occupations such as Commercial Cleaners, Delivery Drivers and Sales Assistants - Tourism and Hospitality employs many such workers, but they are not primarily Tourism and Hospitality occupations. The TSA is the more authoritative basis for measuring Tourism employment.
Further information on the ANZSCO broader view of Tourism and Hospitality occupations can be found at the ABS Tourism and Hospitality page which contains the ANZSCO structure (in PDF format) and a downloadable Excel file containing the occupations identified in the broader view of Tourism and Hospitality. The latest TSA publication is also available on the ABS website.
There are strong employment linkages between the Tourism and Hospitality sector and the
Accommodation and Food Services industry. More detailed information can be found under the 'Industries' menu item on the left hand side navigation menu or by following this link:
