Careers: Hospitality/Opportunities

Question
I am wondering if the hospitality field might have use of health and wellness experts.  I have considered approaching this field as it has occurred to me that some hotels have fitness areas and spas.  My specific areas of expertise are in Tai Chi, Chi Kung and stress reduction.  Do you know of or think there might be opportunities for health and wellness?  and if so do you know who might be approached regarding such matters.  I typically act as a contractor/consultant instead of a full time employee in other areas and fields I have worked in.  

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Answer
Hello Richard,
Sure, I think there would be opportunities for a well trained professional in any full service hotel, Resort or Spa that offers health and wellness programs. I'd suggest looking on-line at a variety of hotels, Spas and resorts, and make contact with their personnel departments, someone there should be able to help you.

Good Luck!
