ASEAN Center bridges Myanmar's tourism sector

09/08/2009

The 3rd ASEAN Tourism Human Resource Development Program was held in Yangon, Myanmar recently by the ASEAN-Korea Centre in close cooperation with the Ministry of Hotels and Tourism of Myanmar.

The program was organized to support the human resource development of the tourism sector of Myanmar through lectures on communication skills and intercultural awareness with Korean tourists among those employed in the tourism sectors.

Forty-five participants from the Myanmar tourism authority and industries participated in the program.

This training program is part of the ASEAN Tourism HRD Program series which is being organized in each ASEAN member country over the two years.

The first and second programs in the series were successfully held in Laos and Vietnam in May and June of this year.

Two more programs will be organized later this year in Cambodia and Thailand, and five more will be organized in Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, and Singapore in 2010.

During this program, the participants were given an opportunity to learn the Korean language and understand Korean culture.

The participants expressed their satisfaction with the program and requested longer and frequent programs in the future.
