New licenses to operate floating hotels in Mount Vema to be granted in October

The Vema Seamount Authority authorized his government today to grant new licenses to companies and people willing to operate floating hotels in Mount Vema to accommodate project architects, engineers, divers, environmentalists, journalists, and other members of the work force due to depart to Mount Vema.
 
The successful applicants will only need to bring the qualified manpower, as the equipment, supplies and the cruise ships to be used as floating hotels will be provided by the Government and will be leased to licensed hotel operators for five years.
 
Although the license application is open to everyone, the government is encouraging especially those with background in hospitality who are departing to Mount Vema to work as Chefs and who already have a Mount Vema Temporary work Permit, to apply to operate the floating hotels.
 
The license can be renewed every five years and so is the lease which can be subleased to another person. The owner will have the responsibility to maintain the hotel opened throughout the year and maintain the highest standards of service with full accountability for budgeting and financial management, planning, organizing and directing the hotel services, including reception, concierge, reservations, and food and beverage operations of their hotels.
 
Hotel owners will need to have a strategic overview and planning ahead to maximize profits, pay attention to details, setting the example for staff to deliver a standard of service and presentation that meets guests' needs and expectations when visiting Mount Vema. The hotel owners must also promote and market the business abroad (outside Mount Vema) and if necessary organise events to attract new customers.
