In 2023, Germany led European countries in the number of persons employed in accommodation services with significant employment figures, followed by the UK and Spain. Notable year-on-year growth was seen in Macedonia, Portugal, and Greece, while Switzerland, Finland, and Luxembourg experienced declines. A longer-term examination indicates Croatia and Ireland outperformed with impressive growth rates, while Germany and Italy showed moderate increases. Conversely, Belgium showed minor declines over the past five years.
Future trends to watch include increasing automation and digitalization in hospitality, potentially influencing employment figures. Monitoring countries with volatile economic indicators, such as Greece, could provide insights into labor market responses to economic shifts.
