Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority in collaboration with the Sri Lanka Institute of Tourism & Hotel Management (SLITHM), as an initiative to uplift the reviving tourism industry in the country, has introduced the continuous professional development (CPD) e-learning platform to all registered guides to enhance their knowledge and skills.

It is important that our guides stay updated on their professional/technical knowledge and I hope this e-learning platform by Sri Lanka Tourism will help them enhance their knowledge and skills,” SLT Chairperson Kimarli Fernando said while the Minister congratulated all the officials who were involved in bringing this initiative to reality, the release said.
