Many people with many roles are involved in urban tourism planning, development, and management. Describe and discuss one career (either directly or indirectly involved in urban tourism development). What skills are necessary? What role does this career have in tourism development (keep in mind, most jobs impacting tourism development are NOT directly related to tourism – mayors, city council, urban planning, etc)?
