MANILA – As Israel’s tourism industry reopens, Israel and the Philippines are trying to expedite the deployment of 500 Filipino hotel personnel, according to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).

The Philippine Ambassador to Israel, Macairog Alberto, met with officials from the Israel Hotel Association (IHA) on March 14 with the hopes of hastening the deployment of OFWs by April 2022, according to the agency.

“As Israel’s tourism industry reopens, allowing both vaccinated and unvaccinated guests to enter, and easing travel and health restrictions, the hotel sector will require a full workforce to respond to the projected flood of tourists to the Holy Land,” according to the DFA.

“As a result, the Philippines and Israel are working together to expedite the arrival of the first batch of 500 Filipino hotel workers in the first week of April, ahead of Passover and Holy Week, both major holidays and tourist draws for the country,” the statement continued.

The project is part of a government-to-government agreement for Filipino hotel workers in Israel signed between the Philippines and Israel in 2018.

IHA indicated at its March 14 meeting that its members may need up to 10,000 laborers and that it is ready to hire 800 Filipino hotel workers, which will be increased to 2,000 at the earliest opportunity.

The professionalism, English proficiency, and hard work of the Filipino staff were also appreciated by IHA.

Meanwhile, Alberto told the group that the Embassy is coordinating the deployment with the Department of Labor and Employment, the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration, and Israeli labor and immigration officials.

He suggested that Israeli hotels accept Filipino students for on-the-job training programs, which the IHA enthusiastically agreed to examine when the initial deployment of Filipino workers was completed.
