📢 New insights on the HORECA sector in Europe!
The European Labour Authority has released in 2024 a report highlighting the key challenges and opportunities in the hospitality sector (Hotels, Restaurants, Cafés). With over 10 million workers across the EU, HORECA plays a vital role in our economies — especially in tourism-driven regions.
🔎 The report shows:
• A high share of mobile, young, and female workers
• Increasing labour shortages in key roles like chefs and waiters
• Challenges in ensuring fair working conditions and enforcing labour rights
• A strong need to improve access to information and awareness for workers
💡 These findings strongly connect with the mission of the IMMiNTE project !
IMMiNTE is working to support the integration of migrants into the tourism and hospitality sector through tailored training, language support, and innovative learning tools. By addressing skills gaps and empowering workers, the project contributes directly to a more inclusive, skilled, and resilient HORECA workforce.
🤝 Together, research and innovation can drive real change - improving working conditions, strengthening labour mobility, and building a more sustainable future for the sector.
