NORTH/SOUTH INITIATIVE TO SUPPORT HOSPITALITY TRADE
TOURISM Training Trust (TTT) and CERT, the bodies responsible for training in the hospitality and tourism sectors in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland respectively, have announced further details of an initiative designed to provide support to the sector.
The initiative, one of three announced by Dr Sean Farren, Minister of Higher and Further Education, Training and Employment and Dr James McDaid, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, following the recent North-South Ministerial Council, aims to provide support and assistance to small and medium sized enterprise’s (SMEs) operating in the hospitality and tourism sector.
The Business Renewal Programme is targeted at SMEs in Northern Ireland and the border, midland, western and eastern counties of the Republic. It offers local operators the opportunity to reassess their businesses following a period of exceptionally difficult trading conditions arising on account of restrictions imposed to limit the spread of foot and mouth disease.
The objective of the programme is to assist these businesses to review their current competitive position and to develop an action plan to improve business performance. (MB)
