E-learning platform for Homestays
Aimed at improving the standards of the homestays across Sri Lanka, an innovative e-learning platform was launched last week by the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
The initiative is part of the ADB’s technical assistance programme and is designed to build resilience and sustainability within the tourism sector, which has faced multiple challenges in recent years.
The e-learning platform is targeted at homestay operators, especially the micro, small and medium sized enterprises MSMEs including women, youth and individuals in remote areas. The platform offers self-paced, multilingual courses in Sinhala, Tamil and English covering key aspects of homestay management, marketing and sustainability.
