OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES REVI
EW OF THE YEAR
The hospitality and tourism industry is an extremely diversified and dynamic sector which now accounts for 4.5% of the UK’s total economic output. The visitor economy is estimated to contribute over 8% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), approximately £114bn. The industry, unlike many others, remains very labour intensive and continues to be a massive creator of new jobs. In their 2010 State of the Nation Report, People 1st, the Sector Skills Council for hospitality, leisure, travel and tourism, highlighted some key statistics:-
The Workforce • Over 1.9 million people work in the hospitality, leisure, travel and tourism industries, accounting for 1 in 15 UK jobs.
• The majority (83%) of the workforce is based in England, with 10% in Scotland, 5% in Wales and 2% in Northern Ireland.
• There are more women than men working in the sector – 56% of the workforce is female, 44% male.
• The sector is reliant on a young workforce – 15% are aged 16-19 (compared to only 5% across the economy as a whole); many of this age group are also in full time education. A further 34% are aged 20-29 (again, much higher than the average of 13%). At the other end of the scale, only 13% of the sector workforce is 50-59 with just 6% over 60.
• 45% of the workforce is part time, 17% of who are full time students. • 20% of the workforce was born overseas.
Skil ls and Vacancies
• Labour turnover currently stands at 31% - equal to the overall UK figure. • A high proportion of vacancies are identified as ‘skills shortage’ vacancies. • Whilst the ramifications of the recession are still being felt across the sector as disposable income reduces, the sector needs to gear up for growth. By 2017 total employment is predicted to grow by 10% with 208,000 additional jobs. When replacement demand is taken into account, projections indicate that a total of 1,063,000 additional people will be
