A three-day orientation program organized by department of tourism Kashmir for its officials, aimed at skill enhancement and personality development, concluded here today.

The officials from other departments including SKICC, RSGC, and JKTDC participated in the program where professional trainers of national repute imparted training.

   

The main emphasis was laid on communications skills, body language, values and etiquettes of the staff, mostly posted at Tourist Reception Centres who receive tourists and handle their enquiries.

The participants were taught how to receive calls on helpline numbers from tourists and visitors, maintain a proper log of the enquiries and do a follow up on those enquires so that tourists receive every sort of assistance in a cordial manner.

Seeing the success of the program, the department decided to conduct more such events in future. The director tourism Kashmir Mahmood A Shah said that the program was conducted so that the officials give better and improve quality of works.

“The orientation programs are necessary so that the officials learn and develop a pleasing personality so that they have better dealings with the visitors and give them better experience at TRC. The program was also aimed at training them to develop good relations with visitors and other organizations associated with the department,” the director said.

He said they would continue such programs aimed at developing the confidence of the staff and bring efficiency to the works of the department.
