Work and Travel Asia: work and explore Asia!
The Work and Travel South-East Asia program is a unique opportunity for young professionals to gain international work experience in the hospitality industry. Typically, participants work in luxury hotels (4-5 stars), restaurants, or other places related to the hospitality industry. Work and travel in South-East Asia is your chance to spend your summer or winter holidays productively. Participants can work in countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, Maldives, and Indonesia. Participants have the opportunity to choose several countries. The program sponsor guarantees accommodation before the program begins. Upon successful completion of the program, the employer provides recommendations. For registration in the program, work experience is not as important as your desire and passion for the hospitality sector. However, knowledge of English must be at least at the Intermediate level.
