SVG Hotel and Tourism Association throws out lifeline
THE ST VINCENT and the Grenadines Hotel and Tourism Association has taken steps to offer help to colleague establishments affected by the passage of Hurricane Beryl, through a job offer programme initiated for their displaced employees.
In a release, the association said its president, board of directors and the wider membership expressed deep concern for, and sympathizes with those who have suffered tremendous losses created by the recent passage of Hurricane Beryl. It said “in an effort at contributing to helping to rebuild our country, the SVGHTA has initiated a programme in which it is inviting persons affected by the hurricane through job losses, the opportunity to apply for vacancies presently existing within membership establishments”.
President, Isola Giddings of Grenadine House, the release states, believes strongly in this initiative.
“The overall support to our initiative from our members is pleasing, and we will continue to share available vacancies and encourage persons especially from the Grenadines to apply. We wish all candidates the best, as we look forward to more positive responses,” Giddings is quoted in the release as saying.
Information on existing vacancies may be obtained from the SVGHTA’s Secretariat, located at the Cruise Ship Terminal, and first consideration will be given to employees of members whose operations have been severely impacted by the hurricane.
The association makes clear that this programme is open only to unemployed nationals and legal residents.
