Professor Tom Baum was invited by the renowned think tank in the UK, the Fabian Society, to write a contribution to the Society’s online series “HOLIDAYS AND HOPE: How can tourism help create a fairer UK post-pandemic?”. His contribution focuses on how Better pay and conditions for workers can improve the UK’s tourism industry and is available at https://fabians.org.uk/exploring-the-options/
Professor Tom Baum is also chairing a policy study on the future of work in hospitality, on behalf of ReWAGE, an advisory body on post-pandemic employment to the UK and Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland governments. The study will build evidence on employment conditions, pay and the current recruitment crisis in hospitality and propose policy interventions to the respective governments.

Chris Ryan
Announcement
New Zealand is slowly emerging to reconsider international tourism, and the government policies are reinforcing messages of sustainability and changing an emphasis from tourism simply contributing to GDP to one of creating benefits for New Zealand communities. Their policies make for interesting reading. Unfortunately, our UNWTO INSTO program effectively stuttered to a halt in 2021 with lockdowns, restricted movements and our research site at Raglan being at one time a designated site of interest with its own local outbreak of the Delta strain enforcing a local lockdown and home isolation policies.
In Waikato, our domestic tourism product has maintained a positive stance, but those sites like Hobbiton and the Waitomo Glow Worm Caves that were very popular with international tourists have had to downsize and become creative in developing new experiences. Similar processes are found at Rotorua - again because Maori tourism depended greatly on the international market.
Ironically perhaps, our research initiatives in China have been sustained with two research contracts and a new research initiative with Beijing Union University and Hainan University relating to female Chinese travellers. The project is in its early stages but is shaping up well.
