The Faro City Council and Turismo de Portugal have announced a new cycle of three free training courses for tourism workers. These courses are scheduled for November and December as part of the ‘Reactivate Tourism – Build the Future’ Plan, which began in 2022 with a partnership agreement.
The Algarve Hotel and Tourism School (AHETA) will be responsible for the training, which will cover three themes: “Accessible Tourism,” “Flooring: Organization and Service,” and “Service and Excellence.” The training actions were prepared based on the results of a diagnostic survey conducted among workers in various service areas, such as hotels, local accommodations, tourist entertainment, and restaurants.
The “Accessible Tourism” training took place on November 13th and 14th from 2 pm to 5 pm. The “Flooring: Organization and Service” action was held on November 20th, 22nd, and 24th from 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm. The “Service and Excellence” session was held on November 27th and 28th and December 4th and 5th from 2:00 pm to 5:30 pm.
All training took place at the Municipal Neighborhood Office, located at Rua José Rosário Silva, no. 56, in Faro, and it required mandatory registration. This initiative aims to broaden and deepen the training of employees in the sector, including entrepreneurs, managers, intermediate and operational staff.
This initiative by Faro City Council and Turismo de Portugal is a significant step towards enhancing the skills of tourism workers in the region. It will ensure the continued growth and success of the tourism industry in Faro.
