DESTINATION TO by Raúl Soria

 Waidring is surrounded by beautiful areas (nature, architecture, big cities...). How could I not have taken advantage of these days to make beautiful trips (Hallstatt, Pillersee, Krimml waterfalls, Salzburg salt mines, etc.)? Beautiful surroundings with more places to discover.

I start my training at this hotel in the Tyrol. Waidring is a beautiful mountain village that combines its high season in winter with a more family-friendly summer season. The first job is to identify the facilities, types of rooms, services, opening hours, etc. All accompanied and guided by the manager.  To get to know the staff that serves the 64 rooms of the hotel. Other moments have served me to investigate the management of the hotel, the tourist intermediaries with whom they operate, the management programme used, etc. To discover aspects related to staff selection, required attitudes and working hours.  The sessions at the reception helped me to demonstrate work procedures (bookings, budgets, check-in). I was able to see some aspects related to marketing (social networks, google adwords, advertisements in tourist magazines, etc). They also showed me aspects related to occupancy (average stay, nationalities according to seasons, etc.). I got to know some aspects related ...

 A few days in Viena before starting my Job Shadowing! Before my Jobshadowing in Waidring Hotel (Tirol), I spent several days getting to know Vienna. Majestic city where I was able to see its main touristic attractions (palaces, museums and beautiful architecture). The Austrians are open-minded and friendly people.   The hot days were hotter than expected.  But that did not mean that I had to participate in the life of the Austrians (dinner in typical stalls and a concert in the town hall square). A few more days would have been great!!!!!!!

 In one week I will be doing my first educational mobility in a company in Austria. I will stay 5 days at the hotel Wander & Wellnesshotel Waidringer Hof. I have already prepared everything. This period will be an observation of the hotel´s work processes, tasks, organization, etc. I will also visit different locations in Austria. I am looking forward to the day !!!!!
