Published on:
January 20, 2025

As part of our Tourism Awareness Month activities, THAG conducted a series of school talks across Regions 3, 4, 6, 7, and 10, bringing attention to the diverse and exciting careers within the tourism and hospitality industry. The Executive Director also led a session in Mahdia, Region 8, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education’s Career Guidance Unit, sparking students' interest in tourism and hospitality and providing practical guidance on how to embark on a career in the field.

Additionally, a special presentation was delivered at NCERD to guidance counselors, equipping them with tools to inspire and guide students toward opportunities in tourism. These efforts align with our ongoing commitment to nurture young talent through initiatives like these school talks and the SWIFT program.
