Episode Details

Andorra’s tourism sector is battling a staffing crisis despite new government efforts—summer work permits have jumped by 250, but businesses still can’t find enough workers. The core problem? Non-EU staff must leave for months between seasons, forcing companies to lose trained talent. Tourism leaders are pushing for a shorter mandatory break—down from five to three months—with some businesses even willing to help cover costs during downtime. Yet, even with more permits, many spots remain unfilled—not due to quotas, but a lack of applicants. Campsites report mixed luck: some struggle with restaurant staff, others run smoothly. Tourist numbers are rising, especially from the UK and Germany, as August heats up. The real challenge? It’s not just permits—it’s finding people willing to work in a booming, seasonal economy.
