The July 22, 2006 marked the official start of the Monitoring Committee on Development Integral Tourism in Las Terrenas, made through the visit of Mr. Luis Simó with a team composed of representatives of ministries and agencies.
A month later he held the first graduation of graduates from courses in four areas INFOTEP (hotel receptionist, handles packaging, English and Crafts), followed by two months of activities that were offered in English courses, waiters room, bar and restaurant waiters and SMEs. These activities were part of an initial plan "pilot" to explore possibilities and conditions as offered valuable contributions to local human development. What is needed now is to consolidate efforts and establish long term trends.
Achievements
Pilot pilot's achievements can be summarized as follows:
1. 200 graduates, 100 in August and 100 the rest of the year.
2. credibility and consistency to the general public and to the tourist business.
3. a high degree of visibility achieved by constant advertising and consistent manner in which activities were conducted.
4. demand for other courses are offered both by individuals and organizations.
5. first joint effort between the Commission and tourism businesses, including significant contributions to logistics, food and facilities.
6. financial and budgetary contribution from INFOTEP and local people, mainly participating hotels and the Mahatma Gandhi Foundation, which provided logistical support, snacks, phone calls, frequent visits and follow up with stakeholders and managers.
7. Create desire for more.
8. INFOTEP commitment to budget expenditures for 2007.
9. Excellent coordination and support from staff such as Rosaura INFOTEP Monegro and Mr. Agron. Joaquin Morel, also including the excellent work done by the instructors who received support and recognition of students and employers.
