Report details

details

This report by WTTC outlines the crucial role the Travel & Tourism sector plays in generating employment opportunities for youth (ages 15-24) on a global scale. The sector is one of the largest employers, especially in countries with high youth unemployment.

Travel & Tourism provides accessible entry-level jobs and career growth opportunities, which contributes to economic development, poverty reduction and social stability.

The report compares youth employment in the Travel & Tourism sector across ten countries, revealing that this sector consistently employs a higher share of young people than other industries. It champions policies that support youth employment, emphasising the need for quality training, positive job perceptions and public-private cooperation.
