Andorra Recruits Honduran Workers for Winter Tourism Boom

Andorran authorities are recruiting temporary workers from Honduras and other Latin American countries to bolster the labour market ahead of the winter season, according to reports in Honduran media.

The initiative targets key tourism-driven sectors including hotels, ski resorts, retail, cleaning services, laundry operations, and travel agencies. Applicants must submit formal requests, with the application window remaining open for several months, as confirmed by government officials.

The government has initially approved 4,995 work permits, a figure that could rise by up to 30% to around 6,500 depending on market demands. Most openings are in hotels and ski stations, which require significant seasonal staffing during the winter months. Permits for hospitality, cleaning, and laundry roles will run until 15 June 2026, while those in other sectors end on 3 May 2026, aligning with the close of the winter period.

Monthly salaries for these positions range from €1,000 to €1,300, though Andorra's minimum wage for 2026 exceeds €1,500. Many contracts, particularly in hotels and restaurants, provide meals, helping to offset living costs.

Fluency in languages such as Spanish, Catalan, or French significantly boosts hiring chances, especially for customer-facing roles interacting with tourists. Honduran outlets have highlighted Andorra as an appealing destination for short-term employment opportunities.
