Calling out en‘tour’preneurs: JobStreet Lanka to host travel and tourism business seminar

Travelers can consult guide books and road maps to navigate unfamiliar destinations, but entrepreneurs starting a tourism business are usually left to wander on their own.

In a bid to unlock tourism potential, JobStreet Lanka (JSL), part of a global business conglomerate which provides eRecruitment, BPO and corporate training services, is hosting a travel and tourism business seminar. The seminar is part of JobStreet Lanka’s international seminar and workshop series intended for the corporate sector and entrepreneurs, who want to start or expand tourism-related businesses. 

The travel and tourism business in Sri Lanka is booming and now may be the best time to take advantage of this trend. If you’ve always dreamed of operating your own travel agency or a career in tourism, the JobStreet Lanka travel and tourism business seminar is for you as it offers a step by step guide on how to enter the business, to the most advanced marketing strategies. 

The seminar is tailor made for entrepreneurs, industry representatives, local tourism organization employees, expatriates, students and those who wish to have an alternative business by setting up a travel business with an affordable start-up capital. It also offers new insights to those who are already in the same venture but who would wish to gain additional knowledge of the many other aspects of making their travel operations more profitable. 

“It’s an opportunity for them to come in, learn about the program and connect with the different partners and for us to talk about how we can ultimately support them in getting into the industry, the opportunities that are there and the markets that we work in,” said Sam Kaluarachchi, Managing Director of JobStreet Lanka.

The session is structured around a mix of presentations, covering new trends in the travel industry by invited experts and also serves as a great opportunity for networking with like-minded professionals.
