THE Authorities of St. Lucia, by means of the Ministry of Tourism, has designed and is able to implement a Tourism Awards Programme for our nation. Certainly, the programme is properly in step with its mantra: Placing Individuals First.
.
From the data I’ve in regards to the programme, I can detect that the programme was properly conceptualized. The Ministry has used Mount Gimie to set the requirements for the awards programme.
Mount Gime is the very best mountain peak among the many chain of mountains in our stunning ‘Honest Helen.’In actual fact I learnt that from Main College a number of many years in the past.
I have a look at the programme with the eyes of an educator. And in Academic programmes, whether or not it’s in English Language, Arithmetic or the Sciences, there’s a set of requirements by which efficiency may very well be measured. And I firmly imagine that the contributors of that programme would do properly to go to Mount Gimie, maybe from a distance to have an excellent have a look at the Mountain Peak, to fulfill themselves that there’s a prevailing commonplace to be met!
However essentially the most crucial a part of the Tourism Awards programme is the truth that it’s individuals oriented. Recognising and awarding the organizations, teams and people who make issues occur within the trade.
In his price range tackle Tuesday, twenty fifth April, the Prime Minister knowledgeable the nation that St. Lucia had skilled an financial development of 18% in 2022. Which is extraordinarily good contemplating the place at which St. Lucia stood, economically, previous to 2022.
I’m very certain that that financial development couldn’t have occurred with out the total cooperation and participation of curiosity teams within the tourism trade. And it’s only honest that these teams be acknowledged for his or her valiant efficiency.
Now, evaluating efficiency is not any simple matter. The first objective of a efficiency to supply an equitable measurement of an worker’s contribution to the office, the workforce or, within the case of tourism, an trade. Emphasis can be positioned on the organizational efficiency, advertising, customer support, and product high quality.
Certainly, I’ve been stressing requirements on this article which can permit the assessor to measure efficiency. Now within the case of the Gimies Awards, that was,in fract, finished.
I adopted the programme on Selection Tv and was very pleased with what I heard and noticed. There was in truth a set of standards or requirements or pointers, when you would like, offered to the organizations, teams and people taking part within the awards. And people had been introduced along with the awards.
