About the employer

Shangri-La is a leading luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, operating hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and other international markets. Its properties are known for personalized service, elegant surroundings, dining experiences, wellness facilities and strong destination appeal. In the Philippines, Shangri-La operates well-established hotels and resorts in locations such as Manila, Cebu and Boracay. The company places emphasis on genuine hospitality, employee development, cultural awareness and creating memorable experiences for guests. Marketing teams support brand positioning, public relations, digital communication, promotions, partnerships and revenue-generating campaigns. Employment normally involves working closely with hotel operations, sales, events, food and beverage and corporate marketing teams in a fast-paced, service-oriented environment.

Working in Philippines

The Philippines offers hospitality, tourism, marketing, events and customer-service opportunities across major islands and resort destinations. Luzon, particularly Metro Manila, provides the broadest corporate and hotel employment market, while Cebu and Boracay are important tourism centers. Filipino culture is warm, family-oriented and strongly influenced by English-language education, making workplace communication relatively accessible for international applicants. Island living can offer beaches, outdoor activities and a relaxed lifestyle, although traffic, seasonal weather, transport limitations and higher costs in resort areas should be considered. Foreign nationals generally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa before starting employment; requirements vary by nationality and role. Employers often assist with documentation, but candidates should confirm accommodation, insurance, relocation costs and contract terms. Local salaries may be modest compared with other international markets, so benefits and staff housing can be significant.
