Learn about the London Economic Development Corporation and our team.
Our research reveals that the projected employment for the sector into 2025 will be more than 700,000 people. However, many of those jobs will be filled through attrition - meaning employees will leave one tourism employer to join another. This will result in a vacancy rate of over 45,000 unfilled jobs. These vacancies are predicted to be particularly acute in:
- Outdoor sport and recreation guides
- Food counter attendants, food service supervisors, kitchen helpers, supporting occupations in accommodation, travel, and facilities set-up services
- Tour and travel guides.
Our research identifies several key challenges that the industry will need to navigate:
- Changing employee perspectives and retention challenges will require dynamic leadership skills
- High operating costs and inflation demand careful financial planning
- Ensuring affordable housing has become a top priority
- Accessible and efficient transportation remains an ongoing necessity
