The Case for FUTOURWORK

Why tourism and hospitality urgently needs change

Many of the EU’s 13 million tourism and hospitality employees are from marginalised groups, at increased risk of exploitation and job insecurity. Meanwhile, digital transformation – namely the rise of platform work – is having detrimental impacts on workers, deepening existing vulnerabilities and challenges like gender inequality across the sector.

FUTOURWORK is here to investigate these issues, working towards empowering solutions and accessible tools that benefit businesses and workers alike.
