Has a job in the hospitality industry producing The Loire tour (8)

I believe the answer is:

hotelier

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'has a job in the hospitality industry' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'the loire tour' is the wordplay.
'tour' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'touring' mean this (touring can mean moving around)).
'the'+'loire'='theloire'
'theloire' is an anagram of 'HOTELIER'.

'producing' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hotelier that I've seen before include "Owner of the Savoy, say" , "Accommodation provider" , "Conrad Hilton, e.g." , "One supplies accommodation" , "Provider of rooms" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
