Talent Trends in the Hospitality Industry. Know Your People!
For decades, the travel and tourism industry has been a main driver of the global economy, supporting 1 out of 10 jobs worldwide (WTTC). And the global crisis caused by COVID-19 put 120 million direct tourism jobs at risk (UNWTO).
Hospitality professionals had to find opportunities in other sectors as many found themselves jobless for months, with many more out of work for over a year. Now that most businesses in our industry are in the process of reopening, they face a talent shortage challenge.
To help the reactivation of the industry and recovery of its workforce, Hosco conducted an extensive survey for the report ‘Talent Trends in the Hospitality Industry.’ 1,317 hospitality talent, from students to senior professionals, answered an in-depth questionnaire that covered different aspects from their willingness to come back to the industry, to their professional interests and motivations when applying for a new job.
The Talent Trends in the Hospitality Industry survey took place between 20 and 31 May 2021.
