GRENADA BOARD OF TOURISM TRAINS NATIONAL TAXI ASSOCIATION MEMBERS
August 17, 2010
Dateline St. George’s: As efforts continue to solidify Grenada’s tourism offerings, the matter of training for taxi drivers remains paramount. Although the Grenada Board of Tourism is not a training institution, it is duty bound to ensure that some level of continuous training is provided so that industry personnel can be more aware of their roles and responsibilities.
In this context, all members of the National Taxi Association have been invited to attend a 3-day ‘Refresher Product Course’ at the GBSS Auditorium from Monday August 23, 2010. Among a wide range of presentations that will be made is ‘Understanding Tourism and its importance to Grenada’. This will be tailored to remind participants about the linkages that tourism inspires within the economy and the effects that it nurtures on the livelihood of Grenadians. They will also be privy to historical, geological and geographical information that can be useful while conducting tours and transfers. Some other topics will cover Grenada’s flora and fauna, leadership skills, understanding the psyche of visitors, the importance of the environment and the tourism product that sells.
This ongoing training emphasis of the Grenada Board of Tourism is part of its preparations for the imminent commencement of the cruise-ship season which will witness the arrival of the first ship (Emerald Princess) on September 24, 2010
