Annual salary of tourism profession

The basic salary of the tourism industry is low. The following information is reproduced on Qitaihe News Network.

At the end of 10, the website of Beijing Human Resources and Social Security Bureau announced the wage guidance price of Beijing labor market in 20 10, in which the average monthly salary of college graduates was 1937 yuan. However, according to some students majoring in tourism, the wages of people engaged in planning, tour guides, hotels and restaurants are generally below average. Zhang Yun, a student majoring in tourism management at Agricultural College, told the author: "I used to work in a travel agency. During the internship, the salary is 800 yuan/month, and the basic salary after becoming a full member is about 1500 yuan, and the period of becoming a full member is seven or eight months. Some students who have worked as interns in other travel agencies or hotels said that the salary will generally not exceed 2,000 yuan/month after becoming a full member. "

"The tourism industry is actually a labor-intensive industry rather than a technology-intensive industry. The low barriers to entry determine the huge number of potential employees in this industry. The continuous job supply is greater than the job demand, which determines that the basic wage level of the industry is low. " Teacher Lu Jianya explained, "There is a certain relationship between the low wage level in the tourism industry and the imperfect and disorderly industry. In order to gain cost advantage and compete at low prices, travel agencies seriously exploit the basic salary of tour guides. The National Tourism Administration clearly does not allow tour guides to collect kickbacks, but the reality is that most tour guides can only increase their income through kickbacks, which has aggravated the chaos of the industry order. "

"The phenomenon of low entry rate and high turnover rate is closely related to the low entry threshold and low salary of the tourism industry, and it is also related to the image recognition of service posts formed by society." Professor Li Xinjian said, "In the long run, in the future, the state should improve the relevant laws and regulations of the industry, raise the entry threshold, improve the social image of the tourism industry, and at the same time raise the wages and salaries of occupations in the industry; Strengthen students' understanding of career development after entering school, and establish the transformation from tourism employment to tourism occupation; Strengthen the certification of students' vocational certificates in tourism colleges and realize double rectification.
