Dear hotel specialists, catering specialists, receptionists, service staff, cooks and colleagues – the hotel, gastronomy and tourism sector in Berlin is made up of a wide variety of professions.

Work in the field of tourism and hotels in Berlin

The hospitality industry in Berlin alone employs more than 80,000 people. They all benefit from the tourism boom in the capital. Berlin is the number one travel destination in Germany. The capital lies in third place when compared to its international peers. More than 14 million visitors spend more than 34 million nights a year in Berlin's hotels, guesthouses, youth hostels and holiday apartments and homes – all of which are establishments where you can go job hunting.

However, the strong tourism in the capital also generates jobs for bus drivers, taxi drivers or city guides. For city and tourist guides, native speakers are generally used – a fantastic job opportunity for newcomers from other countries. Other potential employers include Berlin's sights and museums, which are open every day for tourists in the city.

But also vice versa, Berlin tourism works very well, because Berliners are very fond of travelling. Approximately 1,500 travel agencies and 500 tour operators take Berliners on holiday every year. On top of this comes the online travel industry, which is also right at home here. The booking portal Booking.com, for example, ranks among the largest employers in the capital and, just like Egencia (business travel experts), provides great jobs for travel agents, among others.
