Tunisian labor to make up for the lack of personnel

Tunisia is known for its azure water, its walks on the coast and its restaurants with sea views. A country renowned for its hospitality, and this know-how, France is interested in it. The main hotel union in France could quickly recruit up to 4,000 Tunisian seasonal workers. The project excites young waiters in the country. “We are poor, so we would prefer to go to France“says one of them.

If French restaurateurs turn to Tunisia, it is also for the quality of its hotel schools. Hamza Courta student in hotel management, would like to work in France, and already knows a lot about high-end French gastronomy. For him, this agreement between Tunisia and France is a godsend. “It’s a project that is very interesting, and that gives hope“he rejoiced. Concretely, the contracts offered in France to Tunisians will be fixed-term contracts for a maximum of five months, paid at minimum wage. The agreement is expected to enter into force in 2023.
