TTG has run the rule over feedback given by more than 190 industry professionals, which has revealed that 38% of travel workers are considering leaving the industry because of low pay, while more than two in five are considering a new career if their earnings don’t increase above inflation rates within the next three years.
The survey follows data released in January by recruitment specialist C&M Travel Recruitment, which showed average travel salaries growing by 20% compared to pre-pandemic levels, but failing to keep pace with other sectors, leaving the industry at risk of haemorrhaging talent.
TTG’s research has since revealed 85% of respondents believe the rates of pay in travel lag behind other industries while 67% feel they are unfairly rewarded for their role.
Respondents expressed their frustration at earning “less than working in Tesco”…
