Sustainable development of careers in tourism

Abstract

Developing sustainable careers in the tourism sector is just as hard as achieving sustainable tourism in general. Our objective was to determine tour guides' attitude to the sustainable development of their careers by tourist agencies as those engaging them. We conducted a survey among representatives of tourist agencies (N = 34). The research showed that the economic pillar of sustainable development is perceived to be the most important when it comes to the sustainable development of careers, followed by the environmental pillar as the second and the social pillar as the least important. In order to achieve the truly sustainable development of careers, the focus must be on the social pillar of development.

Secondary abstract:	Razvoj kariere v trajnostnem pogledu je v turističnem sektorju zagotovo vsaj tako zahteven proces kot doseganje trajnostnega razvoja kot takega. Cilj raziskave je bil ugotoviti, kakšen je odnos predstavnikov turističnih agencij do trajnostnega razvoja kariere turističnih vodnikov, ki opravljajo delo zanje. Raziskavo smo izvedli med predstavniki turističnih agencij (N = 34). Rezultati so pokazali, da je ekonomski steber trajnostnega razvoja ocenjen kot najpomembnejši, sledi mu okoljski steber in nato socialni steber trajnostnega razvoja kot najmanj pomemben. Za resnično zagotavljanje trajnostnega razvoja kariere je potrebno fokus preusmeriti ravno na socialni steber, ki je po rezultatih raziskave ocenjen kot najmanj pomemben.
