Wages in tourism to increase 20 pct in 2019

Newsroom 03/11/2018 | 07:46

According to the Hospitality Management Academy data, the average net salary of a travel agent exceeds EUR 500 per month, but increases with bonuses from sales made in the early months of the year through Early Bird campaigns and during tourism fairs.

If the situation of tour operators is in the picture of the national economy, things are not the same for the hotel industry. The average salary in hotels is one of the lowest in Romania, reaching some EUR 300 (net salary).

According to the Hospitality Management Academy estimates, wages in tourism will increase by 20 percent in 2019.

The emigration of the hospitality and tourism workforce, the short season on the seaside, poor infrastructure and the difficult connection between different tourist areas in the country, the lack of dedicated hospitality schools are just a few of the issues raised at Hospitality Management Academy meetings with travel agencies and hoteliers in several areas of the country.

Dragos Anastasiu – Eurolines, Calin Ile – IBIS Continental Hotels, Razvan Pirjol – Bucharest Tourism Board, Razvan Nacea – business coach & trainer, Micut Constantin – Trend Hospitality are some of the people who will provide consultancy to travel and hotel managers. Until May 2019, the project will provide courses for 600 Romanian tourism professionals working in the Southwest, Center and Southeast areas, providing mentoring and coaching for 200 industry professionals, intensive courses for Human Resources teams these regions as well as networking and communication between the main tourism stakeholders active in the three targeted regions.

Anyone with higher education who is part of the management structure of a travel agency, hotel or tourism-related agency in the regions included in the project can enroll in Bootcamp and wishes to receive from industry professionals an update on the industry in which they operate.

Included in the project are the most tourist regions in the country: the Seaside, the Danube Delta, the Prahova Valley and also counties with potential such as Alba Iulia, Valcea, Gorj, Mehedinti, Vrancea and others.
