The first in a series of jobs fairs will be held by Shanghai Disney Resort next week, in anticipation of its scheduled opening early in 2016, aimed at attracting people with tourism and service industry experience.

Staff will be sought for each section of the new resort, said Philippe Gas, its general manager, including ride operations, guest services, retail, food and beverage, engineering and maintenance, security, hotel operations and entertainment.

The first fair will be held from Oct 21 to Oct 24, and others are likely later in the year.
