The Labour Ministry says it is developing a strategic approach to address the concerns being reported by workers in the tourism sector.

This follows a series of protests by workers of at least 4 hotels recently.

The workers were demanding better wages and working conditions.

In a statement today, the Labour Ministry said it commenced an industry assessment, the results of which are expected to be available by early January 2025.

It said consultations are also being held with officials of the Tourism Ministry, which has conducted its own assessments.

Discussions surrounding the results of the industry assessment are expected to be high on the agenda of upcoming meetings of the Labour Advisory Council, LAC.
