GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Italian term or phrase: operatrice turistica
This is a school certificate:

Diploma di maturità professionale per operatrice turistica.

I'll probably stick with High School Diploma rather than converting to the "A" Level or "H" Level qualification system (list of individual subjects is not included), but what would be the best way to deal with "operatrice turistica"?
Travel & Tourism doesn't quite cover it in my mind (or does it?)

Explanation:
Since what you are translating is the certificate why not step round the thorny problem of a term for the person. High school diploma in tourism. A tourism (and hospitality) qualification.

I've never heard of such schools when I lived in either England or Ireland. So I zouldn't go looking for a direct equivalent, if not elsewhere.
