Many of us will enjoy an outing with friends, family and colleagues this December. While we enjoy ourselves, let’s recognise that the hospitality and tourism sector faces increased pressure following what has already been a challenging time. Anna Hirvonen has seen the barriers faced by businesses in the sector and the drive to make changes within hospitality and tourism. You can read a new blog (link in comments) from Anna about the challenges and how fair work practices can create a more resilient sector. Let’s create a sustainable future for hospitality and tourism in Scotland, and make this festive season a time of joy for businesses, their dedicated workers and customers.
