2025-26 Tourism & Hospitality Hiring Trends
The global hospitality market grew to approximately $4.9 trillion in 2024, driven by rising leisure and “bleisure” travel, international tourism, and profit recovery in regions like the Middle East and Europe. The following industries have notable hiring patterns and trends:
- Hotels & Resorts: Countries like Croatia, Italy, and Spain are facing severe staffing shortages. Our proven experience as a Top international recruitment agency can help you bridge that gap across sectors
- Tour Guides & Operators: Niche tourism is actively shaping current hiring trends. Tour operators are increasingly looking for licensed and certified guides, often hiring them on a freelance or contract basis to stay flexible.
- Food & Beverage: Both front-of-house and back-of-house positions are seeing greater demand. Restaurants and resorts are seeking skilled servers, bartenders, and chefs with expertise in plant-based cuisine and fusion dishes in response to changing consumer preferences. Managing peak-season inventory and food supply chains? Our Warehouse & logistics recruitment solutions ensure smooth operations.
What to Expect for Your Business?
The post-pandemic boom in tourism has created both opportunities and challenges. On the one hand, the European tourism and hospitality sector is experiencing a strong recovery. On the other hand, it still faces labour market challenges. By 2035, this sector is expected to create 4.5 million new jobs.
While overall employment is high, many businesses struggle with understaffing and rising costs, forcing them to rethink recruitment and retention strategies. Some countries are increasingly relying on international candidates to address staffing shortages. That is where Dynamic Staffing Solutions comes in.
