Скачать или смотреть The Truth About "Free" Labor Destroying Rural Tourism

Is "free" labor actually free? We investigate the growing shadow economy in rural Swedish tourism and how it impacts honest businesses and local youth employment.

In this video, we dive deep into the trend of volunteers replacing paid staff at hostels, cafes, and farms. What is marketed as "cultural exchange" often hides a reality of unfair competition, tax evasion, and legal risks for the host.

We cover:

The Math: How "free" labor creates a 66% cost disadvantage for honest businesses.

The Social Cost: Why local entry-level jobs are disappearing.

The Legal Reality: What the Swedish Tax Agency and labor laws actually say about "volunteering."

The Risks: Why hosts face massive fines and retroactive taxes.

It’s time to talk about building a sustainable tourism industry that benefits the whole community, not just those who bypass the system.
