For five consecutive years, fifth-grade primary school<\/strong> students <\/strong>from La Porci\u00fancula<\/strong> School <\/strong>in Palma <\/strong>have conducted an annual visit to the facilities of the Riu Playa Park<\/a><\/strong> <\/a>hotel.

Why does RIU organize school visits at its hotels in Mallorca?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At RIU Hotels & Resorts<\/strong>, we organize these educational sessions to introduce the reality of the tourism sector to young generations in Palma de Mallorca. Given that many of the students have family members working in hospitality, this program aims to dignify the tourism profession<\/strong> and highlight the specialized technical skills, logistical coordination, and language capabilities required to build a career in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
