Tourism, between precariousness and precariousness On Wednesday 26 March at 10:30 am in the Aula Magna Campus SAA-Via Ventimiglia 115 of the University of Turin, the podcast entitled: Tourism, between precariousness and precariousness will be presented.
Filippo Monge, associate professor of Economics and Business Management at the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures and Modern Cultures of Unito will animate, through a workshop, the presentation of the podcast written in collaboration with the tourism historian Paolo Gerbaldo and the researcher Robin Vanzolini and recorded in the studios of Radio 110, the Web-radio of Unito. The aim of the podcast is to illustrate the first results of the research activity on the issues of financial sustainability of tourism businesses and the contextual precariousness generated by the structural weakness of the sector.
Precariousness due to seasonality, effect of the precariousness of the sector: the tourism sector, in Italy, is still dominated, in fact, by individual businesses. Many of which are too fragile, undercapitalized and distant from managerial management. This structural weakness has repercussions on the professional horizon choices of the new generations. Willing to work in tourism, yes. But as a temporary occupation towards new and less precarious horizons.
The conference, which will take place in the Aula Magna of the SAA campus (formerly the School of Business Administration of the University of Turin), will be attended, among others, by experts, professionals and representatives of the productive world such as Federico De Giuli, former president of the Tourism Group of the Industrial Union of Turin and, now, manager of the Confindustria Piemonte system and the journalist Riccardo Staglianò, author of the book “Hanno vincere i ricco”, Einaudi, 2024.
Professor Marco Novarese of the University of Eastern Piedmont will also speak to comment on the data, sharing, with the audience present and connected remotely, the results obtained so far in the TOEP project, in particular the new open-ended tourism platform.
