Tourism and jobs: A better future for all

Travel and tourism is a high-growth industry that has the potential to create millions of jobs and boost employment prospects. According to World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), travel and tourism in India supported 41 million jobs in 2017. The industry contributed to 10.4% of the global GDP in 2017 and by 2028 it is projected to support 400 million jobs globally. This means that the travel and tourism industry will contribute to 25% of the global job creation while India alone will add around 10 million jobs in the travel and tourism sector by 2028. These numbers are indicative of the fact that there is no dearth of opportunities in the travel and tourism sector. It has already outpaced other industries in terms of job creation.

Block chain is about to revolutionize the shipping industry

Globalization has brought the most advanced trading networks the world has seen, with the biggest, fastest vessels, robot-operated ports and vast computer databases tracking cargoes. But it all still relies on millions and millions of paper documents. 

A P Moeller-Maersk A/S and other container shipping lines have teamed up with technology companies to upgrade the world’s most complex logistics network. 

To make it work, dozens of shipping lines and thousands of related businesses around the world -- including manufacturers, banks, insurers, brokers and port authorities -- will have to work out a protocol that can integrate all the new systems onto one vast platform. 

Should they succeed, documentation that takes days will eventually be done in minutes.The cost of moving goods across continents could drop dramatically, adding fresh impetus to relocate manufacturing or source materials and goods from overseas

More demand than supply of talent in aviation sector

More demand than supply of talent in aviation sector: TeamLease data

The sector is staring at a deficit of 500 pilots in 2019 against the 1,300 the airlines have on the roster now. There is a dearth of cabin crew as well—1,350 short of the optimum 4,900. To handle duties on the ground, there are only 9,200 personnel, compared with the requirement of 15,800, TeamLease data scrolls put together for ET reveal. 

There is a huge shortage of captains, maintenance staff, route planning/scheduling experts, productivity planners, etc., said R Suresh, founder of boutique search and consulting firm INSIST Executive Search. In several of these areas, there is a lot of demand for expat professionals due to the paucity of local talent. 

Industry experts said because of the huge demand-supply mismatch, the employment scenario in the aviation sector will continue to be positive, though the ongoing crisis may create a short-term blip in hiring sentiment. Training academies, meanwhile, are expanding their capacities to meet the rising demand for airlines professionals. 

India's aviation sector is expected to witness 35,000-crore investment in the next four years, according to industry estimates. Domestic capacity addition (available seat kilometers or the passenger-carrying capacity) grew 10.5% in February, according to a report by stock broking firm Prabhudas Liladhar.

Civil aviation to produce 10 crore jobs in 5 years

The PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) in its latest report has suggested that the government should look at Railways, civil aviation, road transport and tourism to create 10 crore jobs in the next five years.

It also suggested a seven-pronged strategy for the government to help India grow by promoting smart farming, exports, exploring tourism potential and quality education.

The report said that tourism is the largest investment market in India. Over 2.5 crore Indians travelled abroad in 2018 and 180 crore took domestic tourist trips. It can create over 40 million direct and indirect employment in the country.

The report noted that flights operating wide-body aircraft from a country to distant destinations attracts investment, creates jobs and increases passenger traffic. Therefore, it suggests that India should adopt a policy to promote wide-body aircraft by the Light Cost Carriers (LCC) in India and should open the sector for private corporate airlines.
