WTTC Forecasts Significant Growth in Travel Jobs by 2035, Warns of Worker Shortfall

The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has released a new forecast predicting substantial job creation in the travel and tourism sector by 2035. However, the report also highlights a significant looming worker shortfall that could impede this growth.

The WTTC projects that the global travel and tourism industry could generate an additional 91 million jobs over the next decade. This optimistic outlook is based on the sector’s recovery and anticipated expansion.

The report estimates a potential shortfall of 43 million workers globally. This discrepancy between projected job openings and available labor could impact the sector’s ability to reach its full potential.

The WTTC’s findings underscore the importance of addressing labor challenges within the travel and tourism industry to ensure sustained growth and economic contribution.
