INTRODUCTION
Personal development is referred as the ongoing process in which individuals assess their
qualities and skills, consider their aims and set goals accordingly in order to realise as well as
maximize their potential. It includes activities that enhance identity and awareness, built talent
and potential, develop human capital as well as facilitate employability, improve life quality and
contribute to realisation of aspirations and dreams (Bennett-Levy and Finlay-Jones, 2018). This
report covers a self-reflective essay that depicts an understanding regarding skill sets need to
develop individuals within tourism sector. Apart from this, it also includes an action plan that
outline own personal development by taking actions to improve the development areas.
MAIN BODY
1. Self-reflective essay that demonstrating an understanding of skill sets needed to develop
individuals within the tourism sector
Self-reflection is referred as the process to which an individual can grow his or her
understanding regarding who he or she is, what their values are and why they act and think in a
way they do. It is a kind of personal analysis that enable individuals to bring their life into
alignment with what they wish it to be. It is a way through which the individuals assess
themselves, their ways of working as well as the way they study. It helps an individual in
developing emotional self-awareness by asking themselves the important questions. Through
this, they can gain better understanding of their emotions, weaknesses, strengths as well as
driving factors. When individuals take time to reflect on their core values, it increases their
integrity (Côté, Turnnidge and Vierimaa, 2016). They are having clear understanding regarding
the values and put them at forefront after mind as well as strengthen their decisions.
By undertaking this module, I learnt many things about the skills required in travel and
tourism sector, my strengths and weak areas, and knowledge and learning about different other
areas. This reflection helped me in determining my areas of improvement which further enable
me to take appropriate actions to improve these. This help me in improving my team working
skills and enable me to work within the team effectively in coordination and cooperation with
other members of team. This module also helps in improving my another skills including
communication, listening skills, thinking abilities etc. which will further help in my future career
growth and development (McMichael, 2016).
