Developing People

Human resources are our fundamental resource!

The lifeblood of Sri Lanka's Tourism industry is its people. The people who serve are the country's most attractive force.

Keeping this in mind, the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA) is dedicated to the development of human resources in the travel and tourism industry.

Currently plans are in place to train potential individuals who would be able to serve in professional managerial and operational capacities in the industry. Plans include setting up an Institute of Tourism, similar to institutes such as CIMA and CIM, working alongside the public and private sectors in determining entry level qualifications for managerial positions, and providing travel and tourism training in the travel, tourism and MICE management sectors.
