Abstract
This original unpublished study explored the impact of COVID-19 on women working in the hospitality industry. The industry is a significant employer and its workforce has been, and continues to be, adversely affected by the COVID-19 crisis. Worldwide, much of the hospitality workforce is female-dominated and,globally, women were most affected by the pandemic and suffered more job losses than men in the unpredictable and changing conditions. Therefore, exploring women's employment in the hospitality industry during the crisis is an important issue to investigate.Description
