Representatives from the Macao University of Tourism (UTM) have recently attended the second phase of training for the National Team of the 48th WorldSkill Competition in the Hotel Reception category, which was held at Hangzhou First Technician College, according to UTM.
The local university’s participation in the Hangzhou training further strengthened coordination and cooperation with mainland training bases and supported the national team as it is currently preparing for the WorldSkills Competition.
As a co-founder and technical support unit of the “WorldSkills Competition Macao Comprehensive Training Base”, UTM has long been committed to promoting integrated skills development between Guangdong and Macau.
Located at Angsana Zhuhai Hengqin, the base was jointly established by UTM, Macau SAR’s Labour Affairs Bureau (DSAL) and the Livelihood Affairs Bureau of Guangdong-Macau In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin, as well as the Macao Investment (Hengqin) Health Management Co. Ltd. Angsana Hotel Branch.
The base serves as a pilot platform for two WorldSkills categories — Restaurant Service and Hotel Reception — and acts as a bridge for professional skills exchange and training between Guangdong and Macau.
In December 2025, the base — under the name Macao Investment (Hengqin) Health Management Co. Ltd. Angsana Hotel Branch — was officially designated as a National Training Base for the Hotel Reception category of the 48th WorldSkills Competition, marking a significant milestone and demonstrating a national-level affirmation for the Guangdong–Macao collaborative model for developing WorldSkills talent.
UTM’s participation in the Hangzhou training camp enables its representatives to gain deeper insight into the national team’s latest training progress and technical standards, according to the local university.
During the event, UTM’s representative took part in the full programme and engaged in in-depth discussions with the national technical expert team, Hangzhou First Technician College and other participating organisations, with key topics covered including systematic operational training for the Hotel Reception category, refinement of simulation training plans, as well as Macau’s experience in hotel service skills development and WorldSkills preparation.
