About the employer

Shangri-La is a leading luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, with hotels, resorts, residences, and related businesses across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other destinations. Its properties are known for personalized service, comfortable accommodation, restaurants, wellness facilities, and memorable guest experiences. In the Philippines, Shangri-La operates established hotels and resorts, including properties in Manila and Boracay. The company places strong emphasis on warm hospitality, professional standards, teamwork, cultural awareness, and employee development. A Marketing Coordinator may work closely with sales, public relations, food and beverage, events, reservations, and hotel operations teams to strengthen the property’s brand and attract guests. Duties and benefits vary by location, property, experience, and employment contract.

Working in Philippines

The Philippines offers marketing and hospitality opportunities in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Clark, and other resort destinations. Manila provides the widest corporate and hotel job market, while island locations offer a slower lifestyle, beaches, outdoor activities, and tourism-focused work, although housing and transport can be more limited. Filipino culture is generally warm, family-oriented, community-minded, and English-friendly. Living costs vary considerably: Manila is usually more expensive than provincial or island areas, while popular resorts can have seasonal price increases. Foreign nationals normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, commonly involving an Alien Employment Permit and a work visa; requirements can change, so official Philippine immigration guidance should be checked. Local candidates should confirm benefits, accommodation, transportation, and relocation assistance before accepting an island assignment.
