The Ministry of Tourism held a February 20 training course for Hospitality Kampuchea (HoKa) evaluators in the Northeastern provinces. The training, held in Stung Treng, aimed to promote the sustainability of hospitality training for those who lost their jobs during the Covid-19 crisis. It focused on front office, housekeeping, and food and beverage services.
Trainers and tourism industry staff in five provinces have received instruction in professional hospitality skills from Swiss NGO Swisscontact since 2021. The project will run until 2024. According to the Ministry of Tourism, the vocational training programme targets five provinces – Pursat, Battambang, Pailin, Oddar Meanchey and Banteay Meanchey.
