The Tourist Development Fund (TDF) in Saudi Arabia has inked an agreement with Sommet Education, an international network of hospitality education institutes, to boost the development of the kingdom’s tourism sector.
Sommet Education will collaborate with TDF to improve the knowledge, skills, and competencies of TDF workers and clients in tourism, hospitality, and entrepreneurship through dedicated programs and training courses and workshops, training sessions, conferences, and consultancy.
The new agreement offers a world of opportunity for TDF’s employees and clients to study hospitality with globally approved institutes, which aligns with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030’s Human Capability Development Program.
Sommet Education, which includes the Glion Institute of Higher Education, Les Roches Global Hospitality Education, and École Ducasse, a culinary and pastry arts school established by world-renowned chef Alain Ducasse, specializes in hospitality management and culinary arts.
Sommet Education is committed to fostering future talent for the service industry as part of this partnership. TDF’s workers and clients will enroll in training courses for various professions, including investment, hospitality, and tourism, through the organization. Courses will be available at various educational levels, making them accessible to everyone. Individuals, entities, and companies working in the Saudi services industry will use the services, which TDF will supervise.
