Journal Title: GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites - Year 2018, Vol 21, Issue 1
Abstract
The concept of flexicurity, which is a combination of flexibility and security words, involves the application of flexible working conditions providing security. There are various obstacles in the tourism sector of Turkey arising from the structural characteristics of the sector towards the applicability of the concept of flexicurity. In the study, the tourism sector was examined in terms of employment structure, working hours, wages, social protection, and representativeness, and evaluations were made on the dimensions of flexicurity. The statistics used in the study are compiled from TUIK (TURKSTAT), Eurostat and the Ministry of Labor and Social Security and evaluated as accommodation and catering sector data. This secondary analysis of existing data involves obtaining datasets from studies that have already been completed in national sources and the results in this study showed that the concept of flexicurity in the tourism sector can be maintained as unsecured due to the structure of the industry.
