Next year's royal wedding will boost UK tourism, VisitEngland has claimed, which could be of interest to those seeking hospitality jobs.
It was announced this morning that Prince William has proposed to long-term girlfriend Kate Middleton and that the couple are to wed next year.
VisitEngland chief executive James Berresford said that he was "absolutely thrilled" for the pair, but was equally as pleased for the nation's tourism sector.
"The wedding announcement today is great news and is a real shot in the arm for tourism," he added.
Mr Berresford went on to say that tourism will be increased even more in 2012, when the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the Olympic Games take place.
Last month, the British Hospitality Association's chief executive Ufi Ibrahim said that the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games will have an immediate positive effect on many sectors of the UK hospitality industry, thanks to all of the tourism the events will bring to the nation.
