Hotel communication specialist

As a hotel communications specialist, you can expect a wide range of tasks. First and foremost, you welcome and say goodbye to guests. On arrival, you inform them about the hotel's services and on departure, you find out whether they were satisfied with their stay. In the back office, you manage customer, employee and operational data and settle outstanding amounts. Your activities are therefore essential for the smooth running of the hotel.
