ATEC launches its Tourism Training Hub at Meeting Place

Australian Tourism Export Council has developed a range of training programs under one, online, self-directed platform, the Tourism Training Hub (TTH) with the Hub launched at this week's Meeting Place being held in Cairns.

Understanding the tourism export marketplace and how to cater to the differing needs of international travellers is vital to being a successful export tourism business.  Knowing where to find this vital information, until now, has been a big challenge.

ATEC Managing Director Peter Shelley “our export tourism industry is a very specialised business space and really understanding how it works is a critical part of success.

“Most of our tourism operators have developed their knowledge over many years, handing on their expertise but much of this knowledge requires significant research, trial and error and in market conversations."

The Tourism Training Hub is aimed at helping tourism export businesses to upskill themselves and their staff on the needs of each market.

Shelley adds “The Tourism Training Hub provides the understanding and resources which will be a game changer for export tourism businesses.  It offers a great range of programs from Japan Host to Muslim Host to our latest resource, the Tourism Trade Ready program which provides a comprehensive introduction to the export tourism marketplace.

“We are pleased to announce another important market focus to our program offering with our Accessible & Inclusive Host training which provides the fundamentals for every business to help them understand key considerations for successfully servicing and attracting travellers with specific needs.”
