Training Course in Tourism Investment Planning and Project Development (Online / Remote)
1Summary
Turning capital into a thriving hotel or resort takes more than money – it takes a clear read of which country and location actually serves the goal, a realistic study of local needs, and the discipline to plan every stage before the first brick is laid.
This training course by the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy walks participants through that process step by step, drawing on tourism's role as a major economic engine in national and international markets, and on the fact that tourism activity – like any commercial sector – is exposed to risks and crises that management must be ready to handle directly while still meeting investor and client goals.
