The leisure and recreation industry is constantly growing even during tough economic times. People seem to take refuge in the fun and pleasure that recreation and amusement attractions have to offer. Employment opportunities in the leisure and recreation industry are expected to grow as the public’s leisure time grows.
Amusement and theme parks, fairs, carnivals, exhibitions, bowling alleys, ski centers, skating rinks, clubs, and other sports facilities and tourist attractions are just some of the establishments that hire recreation and amusement attendants. These types of businesses are scattered all over the world. These jobs are sometimes full time but are usually seasonal or part-time.
Recreation and amusement attendants function in varying responsibilities such as maintenance, safety inspections, entertainment, guiding, and instructing. Larger amusement or recreation companies offer more positions. Some offer positions with greater responsibilities and higher pay and some places offer supervisory and managerial positions. Higher positions may require more experience and training. Organizational skills are also vital to move up in the industry.
