The first layoffs in tourism start. The Assohotel alarm

by admin

Tourism, as is well known, is one of the Italian sectors most affected by the pandemic. And while the government is preparing to launch new measures to support companies and workers, the alarm of the first layoffs comes from Assohotel, with the expiry of the layoffs.

«The layoffs have already started. In the first twenty days of 2022 we came to direct knowledge of over 300 cases of employees of Italian hotels who received the dismissal letter. A real social drama for a sector in deep crisis due to the Covid emergency », declared Nicola Scolamacchia, Deputy Vice President of Assohotel Confesercenti.

«The companies in the hotel sector – he continues – are trying in every way to keep valuable staff to guarantee quality services, waiting for measures from the Government. Unfortunately, the extension of the Covid-19 Cassa has not arrived and the measures proposed on the front of social safety nets are absolutely insufficient to stem the crisis that is once again overwhelming the entire hospitality system. Those who fired had no alternatives, between the resumption of mortgages, the pressure of the banks and empty rooms “.

The tax credit for leases is good for Assohotel, but the situation is complex. «The layoffs can only continue, thus pushing the sector towards an industrial crisis that is evidently not perceived in its gravity – dcie Scolamacchia -. We appeal to the Government and Parliament: it is necessary to intervene more vigorously, with measures that will allow us to limit the enormous damage suffered and at least to guide companies along this new critical phase ».
