Is it really good to work on an international cruise?

A few days ago, a report released by Bida Consulting, a domestic third-party data organization, showed that in the first half of 2065.438+06, the total number of tourists in China cruise market (outbound cruise ships) reached 65.438+0803 million, up 79.76% year-on-year, and the total market revenue (transaction volume) reached 3.42 billion yuan. The huge potential of the domestic cruise tourism market has made the world's cruise giants aim at China one after another. Facing more and more tourists from China, major international cruise companies have to face another reality, that is, there is an urgent need to recruit a large number of cruise professionals from China.

What are the current recruitment channels and current situation of international cruise companies in China? What qualities do you need to work in an international cruise ship? What is the employment direction of international cruise practitioners after returning to China?

There is a shortage of international cruise talents. At present, there is a great demand for international cruise companies to recruit talents in China market every year, but there are not many talents who meet all the recruitment requirements, mainly due to the differences in service standard systems at home and abroad and language reasons. In the early days, most of the jobs provided by international cruise companies to China people were low-end, and they could only engage in low-paid jobs such as cleaning. In recent years, with the attention of international cruise companies to the China market, China people can not only engage in various service posts, but also engage in some management posts and technical posts, and enjoy a fair salary system, welfare system and promotion channels.

With more and more international cruise ships taking China as their home port, the demand for domestic cruise service professionals is bound to increase year by year.

Employees have a good prospect of returning to China for employment. At present, cruise service employees account for a small proportion of domestic tourism service employees. Many applicants who want to try to work on international cruise ships often have some concerns. Will this career be a youth meal? How to identify whether this recruitment information is true or false? What is the employment situation in China after working on an international cruise ship?

He Ruan, who is currently working in Weihai International, has a deep understanding of these problems. They have worked in the cruise restaurant department and housekeeping department of Royal Caribbean Cruises, the second largest cruise group in the world, for many years. After returning home, they entered Weihai International as cruise attendants.

From the perspective of Chinese and western concepts, in many western countries, working in cruise ships has become the norm and has been highly recognized by the public. Many foreign cruise service practitioners have been working on cruise ships until retirement. Some have worked on domestic cruise ships for more than ten years, and some have chosen to return to China to work in similar fields after working on cruise ships for several years. Because people who have worked on international cruise ships have strong comprehensive ability, there are many employment options for returning to China.

There are generally several employment directions after returning to China. First, they enter the management of star-rated hotels.
