InterContinental Hotels Group has created 3,500 UK jobs over the next three years.
The world’s largest hotel group by number of rooms, is looking to fill vacancies for hotel porters, catering assistants, waiters, waitresses and bar staff.
The vacancies have been created as IHG prepares to open 36 new hotels in the UK over the next three to four years.
The company is creating more than 100,000 jobs worldwide in the same period as it opens 1,400 new hotels across the globe.
IHG chief executive Andy Cosslett said: “Hotels provide a quick and flexible way to get people back into work and provide a much-needed stimulus to the economy.
"We’re playing our part with 3,500 additional opportunities in the next three years, but a commitment from the Government to support and promote the tourism industry would mean we could create even more jobs.”
