This project involves a review of the literature on training and development, tourism training, and rural tourism. The aim is to identify information that may contribute to a successful tourism industry in Newfoundland, Canada. A set of considerations is provided for the purpose of understanding training and development needs in a rural context. The literature review aims to interpret previous research in order to condense it into practical and accessible information for tourism professionals and policy makers in the province. Findings suggest that cooperation among stakeholders is critical to the success of the rural tourism industry.
