Dubrovnik Faces Labor Shortages Amid Tourism Boom
Dubrovnik, Croatia, is preparing for a busy summer season, facing significant labor shortages in its tourism sector. The city is experiencing an influx of foreign workers to fill positions left vacant due to local labor shortages. This development is part of a broader trend in Croatia, where years of emigration, demographic decline, and an aging population have created labor shortages across multiple sectors, including tourism, hospitality, construction, and logistics. As the economy continues to grow post-pandemic, employers are increasingly turning to international recruitment to meet demand. Foreign workers, particularly from Asia, have become integral to Croatia's seasonal economy, with Filipino workers prominently featured in hospitality and service industries.
