Israel has opened its door to Filipino hotel professionals as part of the labor agreement signed during the historic visit to Israel of President Rodrigo Duterte last 2018. This will be just the beginning of the deployment of Filipinos who are in the hotel industry.

Gracing the sent-off for the first batch of Filipino group who will work in the hotel was Israel Ambassador to the Philippines Ilan Fluss.

In the send-off ceremony for the first batch of 61 Filipinos bound to Israel, Ambassador Fluss said. “It is the first time that Israel is opening the hotel industry to foreign labor which is very regulated,” Ambassador Fluss said. “We are happy to finally accept Filipino hotel workers. We are optimistic that the demand will grow, especially the Filipinos have proven their world-class service in the caregiving industry,” he added. At present, around 30,000 Filipinos are employed as caregivers in Israel.

Around 500 Filipino hotel workers will be hired for the initial phase. More slots will open depending on the demand for hospitality-related jobs in the country. The on-going hiring process is facilitated by the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW), former Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), under a government-to-government arrangement. Interested applicants are encouraged to coordinate directly with DMW for more information.
