Tourism Industry: Employment and Labour Market Challenges

Date: 10.6.2009 — 11.6.2009
Venue: Prague - Czech Republic
Category: Conferences and Seminars
Theme: Employment, Soc. Pol., Health and Cons. Affairs

As a part of the activities of the Czech Presidency of the EU Council we are organising an international conference “Tourism Industry: Employment and Labour Market Challenges”.

This conference aims to discuss new challenges and issues that are relevant for the tourism industry at European level. Lack of skilled labour force and little interest of the young generation to work in the area of services is a common topic for all EU Member States because skilled labour force is a necessary component in the process of supplying high-quality services.
The two-day conference will provide a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences from the area of employment and labour market challenges in the EU.

The objective of the conference is to present the trends and possible developments in the area of creation of new jobs in the European labour market and tourism industry and competitiveness of small and mid-sized businesses operating in this field.

The conference will be interpreted into 5 languages: English, German, French, Spanish and Greek.
