# Tourism share of employment in Denmark

Tourism share of employment in Denmark was 3.4% in 2023. Source: Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

- Indicator id: `tourism_employment_share`
- Place id: `dk`
- Unit: %
- Definition: Employment in tourism as a percentage of total employment, as each country reports it to the OECD: for most countries, people employed or jobs in the tourism industries (accommodation, food and beverage serving, passenger transport, travel agencies and others); for some, the employment that serves visitors directly.
- Note: The OECD labels the measure direct, but most countries count everyone working in the tourism industries, including work that serves residents, so the share is usually well above tourism_direct_gdp_share (Spain 2023: 13.2% against 6.0%). Definitions differ between countries and break within some (flagged: Colombia 2015, Denmark 2019, Japan 2014), so compare countries with care.
