The tourist season looks promising after the lull that lasted two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic. But with the recovery, the absence of labor is felt. Finding themselves unemployed, many former employees of this sector have opted for clandestine migration. The presence of sub-Saharan Africans solved the problem of small trades.
Regarding the lack of staff in hotels, the commissioner of tourism in the Djerba-Zarzis area, Mr. Mahouachi, mentions the availability of 1,000 positions, all specialties combined.
To fill this gap, the Ministry of Tourism and Handicrafts has made available to those seeking employment specialists in the field who will provide them with theoretical and practical training courses that will last between two and three weeks, at the Djerba School of Tourism.
« Registration on site or at employment offices in neighboring towns has already begun and will continue until May 26. The duration is certainly short because we were taken aback “, specifies the director of training in this state institution. ” We will try to do better, next time if necessary “, he adds.
