Easter is rapidly approaching, and the Palacio de Congresos in Torremolinos has welcomed around 1,500 job seekers on Thursday, March 20, for the III Jornada Emplea Turismo Málaga-Costa del Sol.
Over 90 tourism businesses, including hotel chains, restaurants, bars, cafés, and beachside chiringuitos, were offering more than 1,800 immediate job openings, revealing the sector’s demand for talent ahead of the high season.
The event, organised by Aehcos, MAHOS, and Aeplayas, was backed by the Junta de Andalucía, Málaga Provincial Council, and Torremolinos Council.
The event provided attendees with the opportunity to speak directly with representatives of human resources from exhibitors and gain insight into job vacancies in hospitality and gastronomy. Public and private training entities, including SAE schools (Cio Mijas, La Fonda, La Cónsula), the University of Málaga’s Tourism Faculty, and private groups such as FEDA Madrid and Cesur, provided details on training programmes to boost skills in tourism and customer care.
The Costa del Sol’s tourism sector, a cornerstone of Málaga and Andalucía’s economy, showcased its growth and need for qualified workers. The event was marketed as a way to boost employability and professionalism, and offered students and job seekers the chance to explore career opportunities in one of Spain’s most important tourism hubs.
