Share

In order to get harmonised tourism statistics including on economic, social and environmental sustainability, we need more detailed statistics on employment in tourism.
So far, there are very detailed statistics e.g. on tourist arrivals, on occupancy rates of accommodation, often provided on a monthly basis.

EFFAT will 
- in 2023-2025, continue to lobby Eurostat to collect and share more detailed data on employment in hospitality-tourism
- inform its member organisations about the statistics for the hospitality-tourism sector provided by Eurostat on a yearly basis, or whenever new statistics are published
- invite national member organisations to provide information about employment figures in case of particular circumstances, as done in 2020 to get knowledge about the job losses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and in 2022 to see the scope of labour shortages in the sector
