About the Project

Creating a Fairer Future for Tourism & Hospitality

Digital transformation is bringing unprecedented change — and deepening inequalities — in the tourism and hospitality sector. With platform work and algorithmic management now the norm, strengthening the rights and wellbeing of workers, especially marginalised groups such as women, migrants and young people, is more important than ever.

FUTOURWORK is dedicated to investigating these issues and promoting fairer, more inclusive practices and dialogue among employers, unions and governments. The project will produce empowering solutions that benefit workers and businesses alike, including accessible legal manuals and an industry wellbeing index and benchmarking tool.

The project's legacy will be enhanced social justice and healthier workplaces across the tourism sector in the EU.

Our Role

The Role of Dissemination, Exploitation & Communication

Equality in Tourism leads the Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication (DEC) work package for FUTOURWORK. It's our responsibility to ensure the project's research and tools reach the right stakeholders — namely researchers, policymakers, trade unions, employers, platform firms and workers.

Here are the three key strands of the work package:

  • Dissemination: Making FUTOURWORK's results and resources accessible to those who can learn and benefit from them.
  • Exploitation: Ensuring project outcomes lead to real-world change, from improved policies to fairer workplace practices.
  • Communication: Raising awareness of the project and keeping stakeholders informed of our progress.

With our experience in advocacy, gender equality, tourism development and making academic research accessible, we are a natural fit for developing and executing the DEC strategy.
