[Travelandtourism] Sattler Center

[cheryl echevarria]

The hospitality is part of the travel industry, which includes restaurants, hotels, resorts, airlines, cruise lines, tour companies like Globus, Viator, and thousands of others across the US. It is a trillion dollar business world in the hospitality field, it touches many areas of our everyday lives. That is why this division is so diversified.
They not only need the reservationists and call center people, but they need lawyers, accountants, nurses, engineers, ITs and more.
So think outside the box everyone as well.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

And eventually do front desk agent at a hotel. I've worked as a recreation attendant at a resort and a housekeeper at a small hotel, but it was prior to meet becoming blind. (6 years ago). But I would love to get back into the hospitality area and do something in that line of work.
