Currently the chances of qualified Accommodation Service Managers finding employment are considered to be fair in the local area. Seasonal influences in this occupation exist, especially in rural areas during the summer months. The region is known as a popular destination for tourists in the summer months which generates employment at accommodation facilities across the island. In recent years, the strength of the dollar against U.S. currency has had some effect on the number of American visitors travelling to the region. In smaller establishments, managers are often owner operators, and may perform other duties as required, such as front desk work.

In addition to employment opportunities locally, opportunities may exist in other areas of the province or in other regions of the country. People who are able to work elsewhere may want to research opportunities for this occupation in other labour markets within Nova Scotia and across the country. The future employment outlook for Accommodation Service Managers in Nova Scotia is expected to be fair over the next 5 years.
