How quickly will we receive tourism intern profiles after posting a internship?

Most hospitality and tourism companies receive 2–5 pre-screened candidate profiles within 5–10 working days of posting. For high-season peak periods (June–September), we recommend submitting internships at least 10–12 weeks in advance to allow for Erasmus+ documentation processing at the student's home institution.

Do tourism interns cost us anything?

There is no upfront recruitment fee for host companies. Most tourism interns arrive via Erasmus+ KA1 grants and receive a monthly stipend (€300–€600) from their home university — so your direct payroll cost may be minimal or zero. Some companies offer an additional €150–€300/month as a performance or motivation supplement.

What languages do tourism interns speak?

Our tourism candidates are multilingual by profile — most speak 2–3 European languages. Common combinations include French/Spanish/English, German/English, Italian/Spanish/English, or Polish/English. We filter candidates by language profile to match your key source markets and guest demographics.

Can we hire tourism interns for seasonal or part-year positions?

Yes. We specialise in seasonal placements for peak summer (June–September) and winter (December–March) periods. Erasmus+ internship durations run a minimum of 2 months. We also fill year-round roles for hotels, agencies, and cultural venues that need consistent intern support throughout the year.

What roles can tourism interns fill in our business?

Tourism interns can fill front desk, guest services, reservations, food and beverage support, events coordination, tour guiding, social media management, and administrative roles. We match candidates to your specific operational needs — a boutique hotel's requirements differ significantly from a tour operator's or a cultural venue's.

Who handles the Erasmus+ paperwork for tourism interns?

We manage all Erasmus+ documentation on your behalf: the Hosting Agreement (which you sign as the receiving organisation), the student's Learning Agreement, mid-term evaluations, and the final participant report. Signing the Hosting Agreement typically takes under 10 minutes — we prepare the complete document for your review.

Can we request candidates with hotel or hospitality school qualifications?

Yes. We specifically source from hospitality and tourism faculties at universities in France, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, and Spain — including Escuela de Hostelería graduates. We can filter for candidates with food and beverage experience, formal hotel school training, or specific certifications such as WSET wine qualifications.

Do you support accommodation for interns arriving from abroad?

Yes. We provide accommodation guidance for interns relocating to your city, with options ranging from shared student flats (€300–€500/month) to student residences (€450–€700/month). Some hotel properties also provide staff accommodation — we can include this in the Hosting Agreement if you offer it.

Spain's tourism industry employs over 2.6 million people and welcomes more than 80 million international visitors annually — making multilingual, culturally aware hospitality talent one of the country's most valuable resources. Spain Internship has been supplying tourism and hospitality interns to Spanish operators since 2009, with a network spanning universities and hospitality schools in France, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, and Portugal.

Our tourism candidates are trained in customer service, proficient in 2–3 European languages, and accustomed to the pace and guest-facing demands of the hospitality sector. Most arrive through Erasmus+ KA1 mobility grants, meaning their stipend is partially or fully covered by EU funding — reducing your direct payroll exposure during high-cost seasonal periods.

We support placements for hotels of all categories, travel agencies, tour operators, event companies, cultural venues, and destination management organisations. Whether you need a French-speaking front desk assistant for your Barcelona boutique hotel, an Italian-speaking guest relations intern for your Costa del Sol resort, or a multilingual events coordinator for your Málaga conference venue — we source and screen to your exact specification.
