Avrupa'da 2008-2022 Döneminde Turistik Konaklama İşletmelerinde Çalışan Kişilerin Kullanımının Etkinliği

Öz

Turizm, Avrupa devletlerinin büyük çoğunluğunda önemli bir potansiyele sahip ekonomik bir daldır. Ancak, kullanımı bir devletten diğerine farklılık gösterir ve bölgesel ve ulusal düzeyde sürdürülebilir kalkınmaya katkı üzerinde etkileri vardır. Bu yönü dikkate alarak, makale, turist konaklama tesislerindeki turist varışlarının ve buralarda istihdam edilen kişilerin evrimi ve turist trafiğinin yoğunluğu ile turist konaklama tesislerindeki istihdam edilen kişiler arasındaki oran konusunda çoğu Avrupa devleti arasında karşılaştırmalı bir resim sunarak Covid-19 salgınının bunlar üzerindeki etkisini vurgulamaktadır.

Efficiency of the Use of Employed Persons in European Tourist Accommodation Establishments in Europe, during 2008-2022

Öz

Tourism is an economic branch with significant potential in the vast majority of European states. However, its exploitation differs from one state to another with implications on the contribution to sustainable development at the regional and national level. Taking this aspect into account, the paper offers a comparative picture between most European states regarding the evolution of tourist arrivals in tourist accommodation establishments and the people employed in them, as well as the ratio between the intensity of tourist traffic and the employed persons in tourist accommodation establishments, highlighting the impact of the pandemic of Covid-19 on them. A strong correlation has been observed between the number of employed persons in tourist establishments and arrivals, though elasticity analysis indicates that employment does not respond uniformly to changes in arrivals, suggesting variable workforce adaptability. The study also has found considerable differences in employment efficiency across regions. Nordic countries, such as Iceland, have reached up to higher tourist numbers per employee compared to other areas, while nations like Slovakia and Ireland have reported lower figures, highlighting diverse workforce utilization rates in European tourism.
