The employment of young Cypriots in hotels is becoming necessary

The rapid development of the tourism industry in the 1980s pushed, then, our state to operate several hotel schools to be able to attend students who would seek vocational education and training in the hotel and food sector, after the absorption of these students by hotels and leisure centers were a given…

This is how we saw our youth graduating from such schools flood the hotels and leisure centers offering their services to the hotel industry with its traditional Cypriot hospitality, its smile and its professionalism, which provoked the most understandable and flattering comments from tourists. our island, as a result of thousands of tourists from Europe and especially from the United Kingdom to make our place one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe.

I even remember how generously many of our hoteliers had financially supported these schools so that, as they claimed, they could select the good students to staff their hotels. This commendable and correct action of the state and the hoteliers of that time for the operation of these schools that contributed greatly to the quality development of our tourism, we now sadly see that it has been destroyed.

And this is mainly due to the inexplicable policy of hoteliers, in recent years, and with our entry into the EU, they prefer to employ foreign and community instead of our own students, as a result of which our young Cypriots are dragged into unemployment and some of them in exile.

We therefore appeal to every GREEK CYPRIOT PATRIOT HOTEL to every GREEK CYPRIOT PATRIOT BUSINESSMAN of the tourism and food sector, these difficult times for our place, these critical days can be over. to not be able to buy the goods necessary to live a life bearable under the circumstances, to give work to these young people. Because our young people are the future of this place. It is the future of Hellenism in this place. It is our last hope so that Hellenism is not lost from these sacred soils.
