ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has shocked the travel and tourism industry, namely the arrival of international and domestic tourists has reduced significantly. This has an impact on reducing working hours, income and even job loss for formal and informal workers in the tourism sector. Tourism sector workers, in their efforts to maintain their income, carry out job mobility and adopt strategies to survive the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this research is to determine the occupational mobility of tourism sector workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research was conducted in 8 districts and 1 municipality in Bali Province, Indonesia. Data collection in the field was carried out using survey methods. The research findings showed that 59.6 percent of respondents stated that they carried out job mobility. Some respondents stated that they experienced 1 job change from before the pandemic to during the COVID-19 pandemic. How long does it take to change jobs from the initial job to the next job, 31.8 percent of respondents said they experienced it in less than 6 months, 21.9 percent said they experienced a job change in a period of more than 6 months to 1 year, as many as 6.6 percent said they experienced changing jobs within a period of more than 1 year, while 39.7 percent did not experience occupational mobility. The association of occupational mobility of tourism sector workers with the socio-economic characteristics of respondents shows that there is an association between the presence/absence of job mobility and the variables of gender, level of education, professional education/training held, frequency of experiencing job changes/transfers from one job to another. other jobs, the time span of how long it takes to change jobs from the first job to the next job, and variable changes in income during the pandemic compared to income before the COVID-19 pandemic.
