The department and Vanuatu Institute of Technology (VIT) have delivered SBO training workshops to over 500 participants from more than 137 tourism businesses in SHEFA.
Further sessions have been planned according to demand.
In the other provinces, Vanuatu Skills Partnership has trained 271 staff from 145 tourism operators.
Safe Business Operations Coordinator Rae Ernst said it is pleasing to see so many businesses engaging in the programme; however, she would like operators to continue preparing and reach out for support if needed.
