Social sustainability: what does it say to tourism employment?

Abstract This chapter discusses the context of tourism employment, the practice of sustainable human resource management (HRM), and the application of sustainable HRM in tourism. It is suggested that the successful implementation of sustainable HRM begins at the organizational level, while also recognizing the interaction of the economic environment on the organization's processes and its effects on its local environment, economically, socially and environmentally. The macro-level and organizational-level considerations in implementing a sustainable HRM approach are discussed.
