Exec sees boost in confidence from Korean, Chinese tourists
Tourists from Korea and China are showing a “boost in confidence” in the CNMI’s tourism industry. This would mean more jobs, new investments, services and attractions for these tourists, according to Jim Arenovski, president of Delta Management Corp. on Saipan.
The executive said the hospitality industry is still the “number one employer of people in the CNMI and is set to grow with the addition of new hotels and restaurants, not to mention the sizeable workforce that the casino will be requiring,”
“We are currently seeing a boost in confidence with Korean and Chinese tourism increasing. This is attracting new investments, services and attractions. But the underlying factor to success is manpower. Companies should have motivated, dedicated, and committed people to fill these important jobs,” Arenovski said.
According to the executive, “most jobs in the hospitality and tourism area are jobs of passion or caring.”
“Being friendly on purpose, having a great attitude toward the job and the guests your serve—the right attitude helps you engage our guests, anticipating and meeting their needs and hopefully exceeding their expectations with will make their stay in the NMI (and you) memorable,” said Arenovsky, who is also an executive of Island Training Solutions.
ITS is a member of the Saipan Chamber of Commerce.
Arenovski’s firm on Friday hosted a hotel and resort expo, the first ever in the CNMI.
