In case you haven’t already heard the news, Greece is currently at the top of the list for most “inspiring destinations” in Southeastern Europe and the Balkans this summer. It is also up 11% in post-pandemic air-capacity recovery, with flights fully booked well in advance of the hot holiday season. While this has meant soaring flight, hotel, and ferry prices for locals and tourists alike, it has also led to an exceptional increase in much-needed hospitality and culinary-arts experts throughout the country.
A greatly promising development is also the earlier start, as well as the prolongation of, the tourism season in Greece. The Greek Minister of Tourism, Vassilis Kikilias, recently emphasized that the decision to commence the tourism season earlier this year was successful in attracting a larger number of visitors in March and April. Demand for employment in the sector is higher than ever, while supply is excited and embracing new opportunities!
If you’re keen on entering the industry, consider carrying out your studies at the heart of Europe’s summer tourism destination. This will open doors, enhance your networking opportunities, provide hands-on training in idyllic settings, and equip you with the expertise necessary to transform your career.
