Training program attracts 35 gaming and hospitality executives

A hospitality leadership program targeting senior executives opened on Tuesday. The initiative is jointly organized by the University of Macau (UM) and the Asia-Pacific Academy of Economics and Management (APAEM).
“Macau is showing large corrections in terms of economics, and some employees may not immediately react and adjust to the market changes,” said Jacky So, dean of the Faculty of Business Administration and director of the APAEM. “The industry is now streamlining the labor structure. We hope to help the industry tide over these difficulties and challenges by nurturing local talent.”
The training course attracted 35 senior executives from the gaming and hospitality industry and the apparel industry. It covers four main topics: changing customer preferences in the hospitality industry; the changing landscape of integrated resorts; strategies and innovation in hospitality; and adjusting to changes and economic reality.
Every year, the APAEM organizes a variety of executive development programs and invites experts and scholars from both academia and industry to give lectures on various topics. The aim of the programs is to nurture internationally competitive and socially responsible future leaders for Macau and the Asia-Pacific region.
