Hotel Industry Information
RV parks and recreational camps cater to people who enjoy recreational camping
at moderate prices. Some parks and campgrounds provide service stations, general
stores, shower and toilet facilities, and coin-operated laundries. While some
are designed for overnight travelers only, others are for vacationers who stay
longer. Some camps provide accommodations, such as cabins and fixed campsites,
and other amenities, such as food services, recreational facilities and equipment,
and organized recreational activities. Examples of these overnight camps include,
children’s camps, family vacation camps, hunting and fishing camps, and
outdoor adventure retreats that offer trail riding, white-water rafting, hiking,
and similar activities.
Lodging Tips & Questions
Job turnover is relatively high in certain occupations employed in this industry.
To attract and retain workers, the hotel and other accommodations industry is
placing more emphasis on hiring and training. Nevertheless, many young people
and others who are looking only for seasonal or part-time work, and not a career,
take food service and clerical jobs that require little or no previous training.
Therefore, job opportunities in this industry are plentiful for first-time jobseekers
and people with limited skills.
