One of the ongoing challenges for hospitality since the pandemic has been finding qualified staff who want to make a career in the sector. For this reason, RIU has looked for alternatives and new ways to solve this problem. One of these initiatives is being carried out in Playa de Palma, more specifically at the Hotel Riu Playa Park. Taking advantage of its closure, due to the end of the summer season, the hotel chain, in conjunction with the public body, SOIB, (Balearic Occupation Service) offers Dual Vocational Training courses to candidates with no experience in the hospitality industry so that once they finish the course, they can join the staff of RIU Hotels & Resorts.

Georg Strauch, Director of the Corporate Reception Department: “The reception is the heart of a hotel”

8 Jun 2023 Proudly Commited

The first thing we encounter when we start our holiday in a hotel is the reception area. The staff here are in charge of welcoming us and making the first impression on us. This marks the start of our holiday. But, are we aware of everything that lies behind the hotel reception? A great team of people, but also a tremendous amount of work carried out at RIU's headquarters by the Reception Staff department. Their job is to study the needs in the reception areas of all 100 RIU hotels, make the relevant changes and ensure that these are implemented.
