The Guyana Marriott has been holding weekly job fairs every Friday and with over 2,000 persons interviewed for various vacancies, General Manager Roberto Grisi is calling the process very successful.
He said that so far over 60 per cent of management has been hired and by December local managers will commence training. A team from Marriott has been in Guyana for weeks hosting job fairs at the hotel’s temporary administrative offices located on Lamaha Street, Georgetown.
The US$58 million hotel is expected to be handed over in January 2015 with the financing agreement for US$27 million from Republic Bank Limited in Trinidad to be finalized before this can happen. ACE Square Investments Ltd a subsidiary owned by Victor How Chung Chan and Xu Han will make a onetime payment of US$8 million prior to gaining the controlling interests from Atlantic Hotel Inc (AHI) via NICIL.
For now, Grisi told Stabroek News, his focus is on preparing the hotel for its opening in February 2015.
