MANILA - Royal Caribbean Cruises, which owns at least 43 massive ships, plans to hire 30,000 Filipinos in the next five years.
The company will also set up for the first time a direct hiring center in the Philippines, which will ease the recruitment process for applicants.
No middlemen or manpower agency is needed for Filipinos wanting to work in the cruise industry.
About a fifth of maritime professionals worldwide are Filipinos.
Royal Caribbean said even in its company, Filipinos represent the largest group of sea-based employees.
As cruise ship companies expand, job opportunities for Filipinos also grow.
Despite the global economic slowdown, the cruise industry vows to stay afloat and continue sailing the rough seas. -- Report from Jekki Pascual, ANC
