The "race" for seasonal employment in tourism begins - Dervishi: The main challenge remains finding qualified employees
Bars and restaurants, especially in the south of the country, have started recruiting staff for the upcoming tourist season.
According to data from the National Employment and Skills Agency, 112 waiters and about 50 bartenders are required in the Himara and Saranda area alone.
Tour operators face the challenge of providing quality service, while the lack of workforce remains a major issue.
In particular, the lack of qualified staff is becoming a significant cost not only for this sector, but also for the economy as a whole.
The tourism sector in Albania employs around 200,000 people each year.
According to the World Travel and Tourism Council, this number is expected to reach up to 300,000 in the coming years.
