Tourism Industry Unemployment

Tourism industry unemployment refers to the rise in joblessness caused by fluctuations or downturns in the tourism sector. When fewer tourists travel due to factors like economic downturns, pandemics, or political instability, businesses such as hotels, airlines, and attractions earn less revenue. As a result, they may reduce staff or close temporarily, leading to higher unemployment among workers dependent on tourism. This type of unemployment is often cyclical, closely linked to changes in travel demand, and can significantly impact local economies that rely heavily on tourism income.
