Information:
The GTHI is one of the few institutions that in the
country offers specialised training in tourism. The
school, which is run by the Dept. of Tourism & Culture,
is to be upgraded into a National Tourism Training Institute
(NTTI).
The Gambia National Tourism Training Institute was established
in 1980 with support from the World Bank and the German
Agency for Technical Cooperation. The learning centre
initially offered training for new entrants to the hotel
industry in 4 fields: house keeping, front office duties,
cooking and restaurant. The school has over the years
provided skills training for more than 4,000 students
many of whom are still working in the hotel industry
and some beyond it.
The school offers various courses including hospitality
management leading to the awarding of professional management
certificates and diplomas.
The GTHI is affiliated with the Organisation for Tourism
and Hospitality Management and the London International
College. |
