Maldives Association of Travel Agents and Tour Operators (MATATO) has said priority will be given this year to build human resource from the tourism sector.
Answering a question posed by PSM News, Vice President of MATATO Abdulla Ghiyas revealed the fairs MATATO participates this year will be less compared to the past two years. He said it is because MATATO will focus more on developing human resource in the sector.
Noting Maldives Marketing Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC) exerts major efforts to promote Maldives as a destination, Ghiyas said MATTO will provide their assistance in promotions.
In efforts to develop human resource in the sector, MATATO has signed with Guesthouse association. MATATO also held several workshops last year. Although MATATO has revealed plans to participate in few fairs, so far they attended 4 fairs.
