DAVOS - The foremost challenge facing a global tourism recovery is ensuring the travel sector can get the labour it needs, industry and government leaders said at a panel discussion on Monday , asTran

sport Minister S. Iswaran, who was one of the panellists, noted that the operational needs of airports around the world have shot up significantly in recent times, but getting the hands needed to keep things going smoothly has been an issue.

"The labour piece is critical... we have got to do a better job as an industry to not simply put out a 'help wanted' sign, but describe in explicit detail the sorts of careers that can be created in this industry," he said. Yet these are not growing pains but transition problems, and Singapore is quite confident it can overcome them, he added.

"It's almost like a 10-year leap forward on digital adoption that's happened," she said."I think it's going to help those merchants rebound; already, many of them have."
