The leisure, sport and tourism industries offer a very wide range of jobs. People have more leisure time, greater disposable income and longer life expectancy. While relatively few people earn a living from playing sport, millions of people enjoy participating in sport. Whether amateur or professional, most participants need the help of coaches and instructors, and make use of sports facilities and leisure centres. Many people want to become fitter and lead healthier lives, and there are government initiatives trying to encourage people to take more exercise. There are many opportunities within tourism, as increasing numbers of people take holidays overseas or leisure breaks within the UK. It includes work in transport and travel services, and entertainment.

Most jobs in these sectors are concerned with helping people to enjoy their leisure time. Some jobs involve very active work and some are desk-bound. Work opportunities exist throughout the UK, and there are jobs at all levels - management, professional, skilled and semi-skilled.
