In February 2013, the IUF and the London-based NGO Tourism Concern agreed to cooperate in investigating the impact of "All-inclusive" tourism on workers and their families. The research is now completed and was presented at a launch event at the UK House of Commons on March 24.

The findings of this research reveal that the tourist sector in the countries studied is characterised by precarious work, low wages, long working hours and unequal opportunity. While these problems exist in a range of hotels, and are the result of inadequate labour law, minimal or no labour inspection, extensive subcontracting and low levels of union density, the impacts are greatest in all- inclusive hotels.
