When you combine the two booming sectors of tourism and cruising, what you get is a world of opportunities from front desk personnel, youth services, entertainers, administrative staff, and more. Recognizing the potential and demands in this niche, TTI developed a unique program, HOLAS (Hospitality on Land and Sea) to provide graduates with the skills to pursue a career in hospitality, whether on land or sea. This offers them the flexibility to ladder between areas of the sector without having to re-train, as the skills learned are transferable.
HOLAS was designed to produce highly valued and sought after hospitality employees, so that they may excel and advance in their career. At the end of this program, students will be able to perform the skills required of front office employees or a purser in areas of passenger services, shore excursions, crew administration, passenger logistics and hotel clerical duties. They will have skills in Front Office operations, an appreciation of shipboard life, knowledge of appropriate shipboard behavior, understanding of cultural diversity, and effective communication skills. |
