Ministry of Tourism starts hospitality training for Haitians

The HSH, shuttered since the January 2010 earthquake, began classes again in January 2012. To raise the training program standards, the MOT, in an on-going partnership with the Institute of Tourism and Hotel of Quebec, will introduce new study materials at an August conference for instructors and school officials of the HSH.

The new curriculum will include continuing education, especially in Information Technology, for the HSH supervisory board and the MOT Directorate of Training.

HSH's first commencement ceremonies, since its re-opening in January, were held on July 15, 2012, with a graduating class of 128 students, all Haitian.

Director of HSH, Gerard Therilien, shared news that more study materials will arrive from Hotel of Quebec, in the months to come, and that HSH will be able to deliver a higher-quality education and training as a result. The MOT has been proactively working to promote and prepare Haiti for an upsurge in tourism they hope will aid the economic recovery of the country
