Employment in the hotel industry has gone up to 78 percent of pre-Covid levels as the sector continues to see recovery as establishments hire to match demand following the easing of restrictions.

The staff numbers in the sector in November were the highest since March 2020 (80 percent), when the country recorded its first Covid-19 case and imposed tough control measures including night curfew and curbs on opening hours and capacity in hotels and restaurants.
