Many studies emphasized the significance of developing strategic plans to cope with crises and thinking of innovative ideas for dealing with them via adjusting financial policies, business performance, demobilization policies, etc.

Although keeping workers loyal to the tourism sector is highly important, those short-term strategies did not tackle that point during crises and make long-term strategies.

Therefore, the current study focused on why the employee turnover level of tourism workers increased.

To achieve this goal, the researcher designed a questionnaire and distributed it to a random sample included 135 human resources managers and hospitality sector managers working at hotels and fast food restaurants in Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
