Why join Travel Industry Careers Association?
There is strong competition for new entrants into all industries and to date the travel industry has relied on the "glamour" to attract people to our industry. Today the pool for future talent is shrinking and as an industry we need to be proactive in marketing our career opportunities to new entrants. As an industry we must work together and pool our resources to market the benefits of joining the travel industry.
By joining the Travel Industry Careers Association (TICA) your business demonstrates its commitment to social responsibility by protecting and investing in the future of the industry. The competition for future talent is not between travel companies but between the travel industry and other well promoted industries.
Together we have an opportunity to educate potential employees on the variety of careers on offer in the travel industry.
By joining TICA your business will be recognised by potential candidates as a preferred place to work in travel plus receive tangible benefits in the short and long term.
