The two new hotels in Galaxy Entertainment Group’s Phase 2 project on Cotai – JW Marriott Hotel and The Ritz-Carlton – are to be completed during the first quarter of next year, the vice operating director of the two hotels, Rauf Malik, said on Wednesday, claiming that they are aiming to recruit some 600 to 800 people for the two properties.
According to local Chinese newspaper Macao Daily, Mr. Malik said during a cocktail party celebrating the upcoming openings of the two hotels that they are currently looking for employees to deal with the operation of the hotels next year. Meanwhile, he claimed that local residents are preferred.
The vice operating director said that he would offer reasonable remuneration to his staff following a market survey. As such, he is not worried about the lack of human resources. In fact, he reckons that 90 percent of his future employees will work for the company for the long term.
Saying he is optimistic about the prospects of the local hotel industry, Mr. Malik said the occasional fluctuations appearing in the market may not influence long-term development. In addition, he perceives that the future completions of other large-scale hotel projects in the city will only facilitate benign competition for the hotel industry, according to the Chinese newspaper.
The Phase 2 project of Galaxy Macau is expected to open by mid-2015, the vice chairman of the Group, Francis Lui Yiu Tung, said earlier in July. The gaming operator is spending some HK$ 19.6 billion on the project. Meanwhile, Phases 3 and 4 of the Group projects are targeted to be finished in 2016 and 2018, respectively. The total amount of investment will be HK$60 billion, the father of Mr. Lui and chairman of the Group, Lui Che Woo, said at that time.
