COMPOSICIÓN DE LA CARNE EN CUANTO A SUS TEJIDOS

In this section, employment for the two years will be analysed in separate sub-sections. Employment here is full-time equivalent employment, i.e. all part-time posi- tions were recalculated as full-time positions.

3.4.1 Tourism employment in 2001, by product The total volume of tourism employment in 2001 corre- sponded to 143,633 full-time equivalents. This corre- sponds, in turn, to a 4.6% share of total employment in Switzerland, measured in full-time equivalents. Figure 9 shows the distribution of total tourism employment between the individual products.

The two classic tourism products, accommodation and food and beverage serving services, are of paramount significance for touristic employment: together they account for approximately 50% of total tourism employ- ment, with food and beverage serving services even out- stripping accommodation. This is because owner-occu- pied holiday dwellings and holiday dwellings let by private individuals to third parties have no effect on employment, which means that only hotels and the pro- fessional other lodging services industry generate employment.

In third place come passenger transport services. Its share of employment is much smaller than that of the two classic tourism products, accommodation and food and beverage serving services, and is also smaller than its shares of tourism consumption and value added. This is of course explained by the extensive mechanisation of the transport industry.

At 9%, the tourism share of employment of the rela- tively employment-intensive travel agency, tour operator and tourist guide services is close to their tourism share of gross value added.

In comparison, the share of total tourism employment shown for all the other tourism-characteristic products (cultural services, recreation and other entertainment services and miscellaneous tourism services), is small at 4%.

The tourism-connected products are also relatively employment-intensive. At 24%, their share of total tour- ism employment in full-time equivalents is higher than their share of either consumption or value added. This is mainly due to the fact that the retail trade and the health sector are relatively labour-intensive.

Non-tourism-specific products, which only include the wholesale trade, account for around 2% of tourism employment.

© Federal Statistical Office (FSO) 3.4.2 Tourism employment in 2005, by product

In 2005, total tourism employment amounted to 138,203 full-time equivalents employed. This is almost 4% less than in 2001 and represents a share of 4.4% of total employment in the Swiss economy. The drop was caused by relatively constant tourism consumption and gross value added, combined with increases in produc- tivity. Figure 10 shows the distribution of total tourism employment between the individual products.

In the area of the two classic tourism products, accommodation and food and beverage serving services, employment fell slightly between 2001 and 2005. Their share of total tourism employment rose slightly, how- ever, although this cannot be seen from the rounded val- ues in figures 9 and 10.

Employment also fell in the area of provision of pas- senger transport services, which was hardly surprising given the drops in tourism consumption and value added.

Travel agency, tour operator and tourist guide services maintained, despite a decline in employment, their 9% share of total tourism employment.

Whilst a decline in employment was also shown for services in the area of recreation and other entertain- ment services, there was a moderate rise in the area of cultural services and a sharp increase in employment in miscellaneous tourism services. A substantial part of this rise, however, is accounted for by the fact that in 2001 it was not possible to include the issue of passports, due to a lack of data.

Slightly below average was the decline in employment in the area of tourism-connected products. These retain their approximately 24% share of total employment.

In 2005, the proportion of total touristic employment accounted for by non-tourism-specific products

remained unchanged, at 2%. rESUlTS
