The short answer
The signals behind the Diploma of Travel and Tourism Management are mixed, and both sides are worth weighing. Employment is projected to grow through 2035. Job ads in June 2026 were down 8.3% on a year earlier, the official shortage list does not rate its occupations in shortage and enrolments are falling. These are official statistics, not a promise about your result.
Jobs and Skills Australia
Is the work there?
Employers are posting fewer conference and event organiser jobs than a year ago. About 404 conference and event organiser jobs were advertised online in June 2026, down 8.3% on a year earlier. Over the last 12 months there were about 5,600 job ads, while 685 people were training in the qualification nationally (2025). Ads show the market. Enrolments show the pipeline. Neither is a job promise.
