Se ha señalado la precariedad laboral y la necesidad de la profesionalización de la fuerza laboral como parte de los problemas que demandan atención en la industria turística, mismas que se agravan ante la contingencia sanitaria ocasionada por el Covid-19 por lo que se requiere colocar en la mesa de discusión, comenzando por su reconocimiento.
El presente trabajo persigue como objetivo analizar las condiciones laborales presentes en la industria turística de México y la situación desde la que enfrentará su recuperación en cuestiones contractuales, después de la contingencia sanitaria.
Para lograr el objetivo, se retoma el enfoque teórico del turismo desde la perspectiva económica, así como la literatura que expone las formas de precarización específica del turismo y se compara con la realidad presente entre quienes laboraban en la actividad al inicio de la contingencia.
Para ello se propone un enfoque positivista, empleando un cuestionario que permitió recopilar información de empleados turísticos en México al inicio de la contingencia, en un momento crítico, cuando aún no se conocía la duración que tendría. Se encontró que, aunque el actual marco legal conduce a su precarización, alrededor de la mitad tiene un trabajo estable, valorado así por el nivel de ingresos que percibe y regresaría prácticamente en las mismas condiciones, tan pronto se vaya recuperando la actividad, al tiempo que asume la presente contingencia como parte del riesgo, de la realidad a la que se enfrenta el turismo y la asumen como tal. Esto entre quienes han alcanzado la profesionalización mediante la especialización o formación específica y ocupan mandos medios o superiores; siendo contrario entre aquellos que no tienen una formación en turismo, o que recientemente se incorporaron a la actividad.
Job insecurity and the need for the professionalization of the workforce have been pointed out as part of the pending issues to be addressed in the tourism industry, situations that, in the face of the health contingency caused by Covid-19, would be accentuated for those who work in the tourism. The present work aims to analyze the working conditions present in the Mexican tourism industry and the situation from which it will face its recovery in contractual matters, after the health contingency. To achieve the objective, the perspective of tourism as economic activity is retaken, as well as the literature that exposes the forms of specific precariousness of tourism and is compared with the present reality among those who worked in the activity at the beginning of the contingency. A questionnaire was distributed among tourism employees in Mexico who occupied different levels. It was found that, although the current legal framework leads to their precariousness, around half have a stable job, valued thus by the level of income they receive and will return practically in the same conditions, as soon as the activity recovers, at the same time that assumes the present contingency as part of the risk, part of the reality that tourism faces and they assume as such. This is among those who have achieved professionalization through specialization or specific training and occupy middle or higher management; being the opposite among those who do not have a training in tourism, or who recently joined the activity.
