Description
Summary:This systematic literature review explores seasonal work in the Italian tourism industry, a sector crucial to the country’s economy. It aims to synthesise research on the characteristics, challenges, and implications of seasonal work, focusing on both tourism workers and firms. By analysing a range of academic products, this review highlights the gaps in current research and suggests areas for further investigation, including job quality and working practices, business issues and new market segments. Research on seasonal work can inform policies aimed at mitigating the negative impacts of seasonality on the tourism industry and local economies.
