About
The hospitality and tourism industry is the fastest growing industry in the world and the second largest industry in Wisconsin. One out of every 10 workers in Wisconsin is employed in the hospitality and tourism industry. Career opportunities are limitless; however, the expectation for greatest growth is in management and supervisory positions.

Major components of the industry include: lodging, food service, resort operation, sports facility operation, tourism marketing, special events and festivals, and meetings and conventions.
