Tourist class

Article Abstract:

The tourist industry does not do enough to analyse the benefits of training, according to speakers at the annual conference of the Association of Teachers and Trainers in Tourism. In most cases, teachers responsible for tourism courses have no experience in the industry, and this problem is made worse by senior managers failing to support staff development. It is important to provide varied training programmes, not simply those which direct the employee towards a formal qualification.
