Description:Percentage of unemployed in the active population in tourism-related economic activities according to the National Classification of Economic Activities, CNAE2009. This indicator is cited rather than the unemployment rate, because not all unemployed people can be classified by sector, as several collectives are not broken down by activity, such as unemployed people seeking a second job, or the long-term unemployed.
