Zarco, a Portuguese company which owns a tourism app is going to hire 100 people by the summer. The company is looking for tourist guides with degrees in history, architecture, archaeology, tourism and photography to help connect travellers with local guides who can lead them to discover the city.
Zarco was established five months ago in Porto and already works with over 30 local guides. The hiring programme springs from the plan to expand its services to Lisbon, Braga, Guimarães and Coimbra.
