UAE tourism jobs are beginning to pick up as hotels in Dubai and Abu Dhabi prepare for the busy winter travel season. The recovery comes after a difficult period for the region’s tourism and hospitality industry.
Hotels are seeing bookings improve as international visitors return to the UAE. Dubai and Abu Dhabi are also working to attract more tourists, while airlines are offering greater flexibility to travellers ahead of the winter period.
The improvement in bookings is creating fresh demand for hospitality workers. Recruitment is picking up across areas such as front-office operations, housekeeping, food and beverage, guest relations and commercial teams.
Current job listings also show continued demand for hospitality workers across the UAE. Positions advertised recently include hotel cleanliness supervisors, guest service officers, concierge staff, receptionists, housekeeping employees and revenue management roles.
