A Critical Analysis of Labor Supply and Demand in the Tourism and Hospitality Industries

Abstract

The nature of tourism and hospitality jobs requires special type of employees; it imposes appropriate employee structure to be engaged in all types of job positions and levels. In line with the philosophy of caring that tourism and hospitality labor must have and must apply during their work, hospitality jobs demand long working hours, provide seasonal employment, and have poor job security. The nature of labor market whether it is a primary or secondary market contributes critically to shaping the turnover rate of employees in the various industries. Employment in tourism and hospitality industries refers to all the jobs or individuals engaged in both tourism-characteristic activities and non-tourism-characteristic activities in all organizations and properties in tourism industries. Females tend to be more friendly, unselfish and submissive, and thus their perception is focused on caring or maintaining relations, while disapproving of those who threaten the position. Most of the staff has limited skills; they only received basic education at public schools.
