Employment Opportunities in the Andalusian Cruise Tourism Industry. Post-COVID 19 and Andalusian Potential Challenges

Abstract

Cruise tourism is currently one of the fastest-growing tourism modalities in Andalusia, in addition to being an important settlement as a port of call and base for large companies, where large ships are also repaired and transformed.
This article has carried out a study of the possibilities and employment options in the cruise sector; and it is concluded that these are extensive, although there is a lack of specific and technical training in the sector. Specifically, the possibilities currently offered by the establishment of the cruise industry in Andalusia are motivated by its cultural, tourist, and gastronomic potential. Therefore, with an appropriate policy within the naval sector industry, employment opportunities for Andalusian professionals can be specified in an effective and tangible way, who also have to overcome the challenges they face after COVID-19.
