EURES Tourism Sector
Are you a WORKER or an EMPLOYER in the TOURISM SECTOR interested in working and improving your business in Europe?
EMPLOYERS' side
There are many tourism opportunities across the EU, from coastal and mountain destinations to popular cities. The sector supports 25 million jobs directly and indirectly in Europe. It’s the largest employer of young people, migrants, part-time workers and women, at the same time, competitiveness of tourism very much relies on the competencies and skills of its human capital. Moreover, tourism is changing, it’s becoming more complex and requires higher levels of skills. Businesses and the workforce must adapt to new technologies, new market demands and changes in customer behaviour and expectations.
Recent studies have highlighted the weaknesses of the tourism labour market and provided recommendations on how to address skills mismatches. In particular, the studies underline the following:
1) poor image of tourism careers (e.g. seasonality and limited career prospects)
2) key skills gaps (e.g. digital skills, interpersonal skills, communication, etc.)
3) new skills are needed to remain competitive and tackle the new tourist demand (e.g. destination management, adventure tourism, accessible tourism, green tourism)
4) Cross-border and transnational mobility needs to be encouraged more
As employer, you might be interested in learning that tourism benefits from specific support on the European Commission’s side, geared towards employers, along three main axes, namely:
Digital transformation of Eu Tourism, Professional skills improvement, Fairer mobility for seasonal workers
