The tourism sector is often praised as a \u201cchimneyless industry\u201d.<\/p>\n
But behind this bright image lies the reality of harsh working conditions and exploitation.<\/p>\n
Drivers, especially those working in tourism transportation, are forced to work long hours behind the wheel in a modern slavery system.<\/p>\n
Drivers transporting tourists to hotels, airports and tourist sites are often exposed to working hours of up to 14-16 hours a day.<\/p>\n
The right to rest is virtually ignored, overtime is often unpaid and low wages are imposed.<\/p>\n
Some businesses employ drivers without insurance to reduce costs, both exploiting labor and pushing the future of employees into uncertainty.<\/p>\n
While the tourism sector generates millions of dollars in revenue, drivers, who play a major role in generating this revenue, often receive the lowest share.<\/p>\n
Tired, sleep deprived and under pressure, drivers risk not only their own health but also the safety of the passengers they transport.<\/p>\n
The reality is that behind the shining showcase of the tourism sector are thousands of drivers whose labor has been cheapened and devalued.<\/p>\n
