Tour operators will be trained in marketing and research skills; industry regulations; tour packaging, planning and delivery; and the structure of the travel industry, including the advantages of technology. They will also discuss the development of the hospitality and tourism sectors. The course will take place from May 9 to June 27, 2006, at the TDC in Barataria.
Tour operators, tour guides and short-term motor vehicle rental operators are major target groups in the tourism industry certification programme. The objective is to certify all tourism operators against national standards and to raise the quality and standard of the products and services being offered to the domestic and international tourist. The TDC is also looking forward to creating a workshop for the police service.
Quality control is essential to maintaining international standards. And so, the TDC is developing national standards for hotels and guesthouse; bed and breakfast accommodations; tourist taxi drivers and recreational dive operators. The intention is to provide a list of inspected and approved properties which can be offered to our international guests and to ensure that these properties have met the minimum guidelines for registration. The inspection period is expected to last from May to August 2006. |
