MUSCAT: In search of the most passionate and skilled hospitality professionals across the Sultanate, Marriott International hosted a recruitment fair at Al Bustan Palace, a Ritz Carlton Hotel, under the patronage of Maitha bint Saif Al Mahrouqi, Undersecretary for the Ministry of Tourism.

More than 500 Omani men and women were welcomed by representatives from the Ministry of Manpower and general managers from all local Marriott properties and discovered the myriad career opportunities available in Oman’s burgeoning hospitality industry.

“Professionals working in hospitality not only play a role in providing a service, but more importantly, in creating truly memorable experiences which ultimately reflect positively on the country’s image and reputation,” said Maitha bint Saif Al Mahrouqi, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Tourism.

“We firmly believe that human capital plays an instrumental role in unlocking Oman’s abundant potential as a leading tourist destination. This is why we are deeply committed to working closely with hotel partners to continuously identify opportunities to train, develop and employ young Omanis to explore the endless possibilities the hospitality industry has to offer and build meaningful careers,” said Al Mahrouqi.

The fair was organised to recruit personnel for 200 available job positions ranging from line employees to senior management at one of Marriott International’s four properties in Oman, including the soon to be re-opened Al Bustan Palace, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Sheraton Oman Hotel and the upcoming W Muscat and JW Marriott Muscat.
