Social sustainability and high-quality jobs in the tourism sector
Social
Tourism is a key driver of local and regional development in Europe, impacting communities differently based on factors like location and seasonality. With 12.5 million employees in the EU, tourism offers opportunities and challenges, from providing vital employment to posing risks of low-paid, seasonal jobs.
The Zoom-in session focuses on responsible tourism promotion and inclusive labor markets, addressing social impacts, economic risks, seasonality management, and the role of tourism in cultural dynamics within the framework of European Cohesion Policy.
