Spain funds training for Vietnamese tourism managers

     The HCM City Law University is working with Spain’s Institute of International Legal Studies to run a five-week legal training course on tourism management in June.
The course aims to improve the abilities of tourism administrators in interpreting and enforcing the tourism law. The training course will be held in Vietnam for two weeks and then in Spain for three weeks.
Trinh Anh Nguyen from the University said that managers in the tourist industry would learn about contracts, regulations on compensation and insurance.
Participants in the course will also be taught about environmental protection, laws on protecting cultural heritage and other related subjects. Marketing, branding, the use of promotional tools and destination strategies will also be discussed.
Bruno Aguilara Barchet, director of the Spanish institute, said the students would learn from mistakes made by the tourism sector in Spain, which is the second most-visited country in the world.
The course will take place in Spanish, with Vietnamese people studying in Spain acting as interpreters.
After the five-week training course, the participants will be awarded a certificate by the chancellor of HCM City Law University and the Institute of International Legal Studies.
