DUBAI COLLEGE OF TOURISM CELEBRATES SUCCESS OF INITIATIVES AND LOOKS TO THE FUTURE

The Dubai College of Tourism (DCT), which is a part of Dubai’s Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (Dubai Tourism), is celebrating the success of its multiple initiatives at this year’s Arabian Travel Market (ATM). DCT, featured on the Dubai stand, has been revealing details of its vocational training institution, as well as showcasing its interactive industry training tools. The College is looking ahead to another busy year, as it continues its work as the primary enabler of human capital in Dubai’s tourism and hospitality industries.

DCT’s mandate covers multiple educational programmes across the sector. The College is responsible for the implementation and roll-out of training tools for tourism and hospitality professionals. DCT also helps job seekers through its Medyaf programme to provide the tourism industry with local talent to help cope with the rising demand that is bound to be created by Dubai’s Tourism Vision 2020, which aims to attract 20 million visitors annually by 2020.
