       5. Recruitment of local employees

The hotel recognizes the importance of recruiting local people as employees, thus providing secondary economic benefits to the community business. The Aliathon believes that this policy helps preserve the vita community fabric   that forms part of our unique hospitality product. In turn this will also help the community and local business from community taxes and consumer spending.

We are always trying to support our community  , promote our culture and invest in our staff  in order to create an team of people that go above and beyond not only for the performance of the hotel but for it's impact in the society and environment.
