HOTEL EMPLOYEES EYEING 6% PAY RISE AS OCCUPANCY RATE GROWS Macau Daily Times
Hotel employees are asking for at least a 6% salary increase next year as visitor numbers grow and are staying longer on average, according to Lei Pou Loi, president of the Macao Hotel Employees Association, who said hotel guests stay as long as 1.9 nights comparing to just 1.4 nights by overall visitors. Asked of the possibility of a double-digit hike, Lei said that although they hope for the best, such scale is most unlikely, given the fact that cheaper foreign laborers are readily available in the market.
