The making of the world’s largest Sheraton
The construction of Sheraton Macao Hotel, Cotai Central helped boost the Macau economy and provided locals with a wide range of career opportunities.
The hotel team hosted a number of job fairs that yielded more than 10,000 job applications, and travelled nearly 10,000 miles to interview 5000 candidates.
As part of the on-the-job training for its 1500 associates, the hotel conducted a massive, two-week simulation where 10,000 guests arrived to check in and out of 5000 rooms.
