Íris Hrund Halldórsdóttir and Magnfríður Júlíusdóttir received funding from the Immigration Development Fund for further research on the project "Terms and conditions of foreign workers in tourism". The aim of the research is to explore the situation of foreign citizens employed in tourism related jobs in Iceland. Main focus is on the position of this growing group in the labour market, trying to map out what is well done and what needs to be improved in the working terms and work conditions of foreigners working in tourism.

Íris and Magnfríður are both members of the tourism workforce research group which is hosted by Icelandic Tourism Research centre. Further information about the research group and its members can be found here
