A new code of practice aimed at improving the experience of students working in hotels and guesthouses for the summer was introduced yesterday.

One of a series of initiatives by the Irish Hotels Federation, it is hoped the code will attract young people to careers in the hotel industry.

The code sets out terms of employment and lays down job criteria for students including pay, hours, uniform, time off and written assessment.
