I am a female graduating this December with a Bachelor's degree in Travel & Tourism, with a concentration in Tourism Destination Management. I am very interested in moving to a resort area in the Caribbean or Mexico, and working for a resort, ideally where they provide housing because I know that's pretty common. However, I'm not sure where to start. I've looked on jobs pages on some reputable resorts I know of, but found they had little info. I've also looked on Craig's List which is sketchy, and some work abroad web sites but their programs have specific requirements. I'll be a college graduate looking to go at some point next year on a short term basis (6 months to a year). Any info on where I should look or how to get started is much appreciated!!

Also, if you are an American and have done this yourself, I'd appreciate any advice/concerns.

Thanks so much!

  1. You might be better off working for a while on a cruise ship. That way you'd get some feel for the region and perhaps make some contacts, while not having to worry about feeding yourself and keeping a roof over your head!

  2. It's not easy to get your foot in the door without some kind of experience. Maybe get some experience in the states first. Not sure what qualifications needed for a Tourism Destination Manager. Many islands require work permits and they are not easy to get.

    Here is a link, I got off the web for employment in travel.

    Here is also a good link for information relocating to the US Virgin Islands. They are a USA territory. Might be easier to relocate to.
