The event saw the enthusiastic participation of 22 companies across various sectors within the hospitality industry, all eager to recruit local talent.
CHATA’s CEO, Anuschka Cova, has frequently emphasized the ambitious expansion plans of the hospitality sector, with projections to add 4,000 rooms by 2026. This growth necessitates the hiring of over 3,000 new employees, in addition to tour operators and activity coordinators, restaurants, retailers amongst others. In light of this, CHATA and its member companies are committed to maximizing local employment and enhancing educational opportunities through comprehensive training programs.
The Job Fair, which ran from 9 AM to 7 PM, attracted over 600 attendees, showcasing the vibrant interest in hospitality careers. The participating companies excelled in presenting their job opportunities, using interactive methods such as informational booths, games, and prizes to engage with potential employees.
