FREEPORT, GRAND BAHAMA – Five days of intense Team Service & Management/Supervisory Critical Thinking, Communication & Complaint Handling training, culminated in a joyful, laughter-filled celebration at the Pelican Bay Hotel, the local sponsor and venue for the final CHTA Education Foundation activity of 2023.
Prof. Mike Hampton, Trustee of the CHTA Education Foundation gave energetic congratulations to each participant and commented “I’m hearing about the laughter, the lively discussions, the knowledge of hospitality our trainers, Louise & Suzanne, have at the tip of their fingers; and of the role-plays, analysis and games you loved. It sure seems to have been a tremendous week and unanimously well received.” Hampton encouraged participants to seek further development opportunities academically or on technical short courses and apply for Education Foundation Scholarships, as ”continuous professional development is a great investment of your time.”
