Melco’s team of management executives are presented with course completion certificates from the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Macao SAR Region and China Executive Leadership Academy Pudong.
Recognizing the importance of continuous learning and to promote a deeper understanding of mainland China, Melco Resorts and Entertainment’s management team attended a National Education Executive Study Trip to Shanghai at China Executive Leadership Academy Pudong. A national institution in leadership training and development, CELAP was jointly approved by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and State Council. Since March 2005, it has attracted consistent attention from the Party and leaders. With the aim to serve as a base for educating revolutionary traditions and fundamental realities of China, it enhances leadership capacities of Chinese leaders, and acts as a platform for international exchange and cooperation.
With support from Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in Macau, Melco hosted an exclusive national education study trip for 20 of the company’s executives as part of its “Splendors of China” learning program. The program provides a historical perspective on the wonders and growth of China, from its iconic and historic achievements to its modernization and path of becoming the world’s second largest economy. In addition to providing insight about its largest customer segment, the company also hopes that the program will instill cultural pride in its employees.
“’Splendors of China’ is a Melco-developed learning program designed to help colleagues understand and deliver Melco’s service promise to customers from Mainland China, who account for the majority of our clientele. We are grateful for the support from CELAP and the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Macao SAR Region, and we look forward to organizing future trips and learning opportunities for our colleagues,” said Mr. Lawrence Ho, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Melco Resorts & Entertainment.
Arranged in collaboration with CELAP, the 5-day study excursion was attended by management representatives from Melco’s various departments.

Course content included dialogue sessions on the development of the Greater Bay Area, and site inspections of signature tourism models and cultural preservation such as Zhujiajiao Village in Shanghai’s Qingpu District.
