Stress, disruption and low pay: the life of an all-inclusive employee
Workers at all-inclusive hotels around the world are employed under less favourable conditions than other hotel staff, a new report reveals.
Tourism Concern’s All Inclusive Research report says more are on short-term contracts, which means they get fewer benefits and less job security.
Prolonged contact with guests is more likely in all-inclusives, which can be stressful, while all-inclusive hotel staff also received significantly less in tips.
Long working hours and a disrupted home life can lead to stress.
However, Tourism Concern says the situation is showing signs of improving.
The report looked at working conditions of all inclusives in Kenya, Tenerife and Barbados.
It will be launched on Monday, March 24 at the House of Commons.
