Abstract

Currently, an estimated 100 million tourists visit the Mediterranean region annually. Due to the seasonally increasing demand of multilingual and cost effective workforce in the field of tourism, the employers have to deal with financial and HR planning challenges. Despite the serious effect of the economical difficulties and crisis of certain Southern countries such as Greece or Spain on the employment rate, the tourism sector still can indicate continuously increasing. This paper aims to find answers to the following questions: Which are the major benefits of participating in mobility programs and gain work experience in the field of tourism from the students' perspective? Is the employment of interns cost effective solution compared to hiring of local workforce? Is it sustainable on long term?
