Introduction
Being the second-largest country in South America and in fact, one of the largest countries in the world, Argentina offers a multitude of experiences to the intrepid visitor and a never-ending stream of tourists descend on the country each year to experience the magic cocktail of tango, futbol, gauchos, stunning landscapes, colonial heritage cities, sizzling steaks and the famous Argentine passion for life. A Latin American power-house, never fails to impress. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the capital Buenos Aires, affectionately described as the ‘Paris of the South’ where Porteños (as the inhabitants are called) will welcome you in their very own, unique way. A little on the gritty side, but once you get under their skin, so will the city get under yours.
This internship offers you the chance to experience living and working in this intriguing metropolis and truly get to know Argentina from within, while sharing your talent and skills with local businesses and at the same time, developing and enhancing those skills to prepare you for a professional career.
Daily Life
Interns have the possibility to work in one of the top boutique hotels in Buenos Aires. This hotel is internationally acclaimed and will allow you to have a hands-on experience and learn about different aspects of the hotel industry. As a hospitality Intern, you will be responsible for checking guest in and out. You will also be in charge of making reservations, managing mailboxes, as well as requests made by the superintendent. This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in getting a foot in the door of the hospitality industry in one of the most enigmatic countries in South America!
