The workshop aims to provide participants with an overview of the Hospitality Assured Service and Business Excellence framework, provide participants with a knowledge and understanding of the evidence requirements of Hospitality Assured as well as an opportunity to establish advisory approaches, through the deployment of case studies and role-plays.

Fifteen senior tourism officials from across the region are engaged in the sessions which will act as an introduction to the Hospitality Assured Service and Business Excellence framework and participants will gain further insight and knowledge as they work with establishments within their respective countries.

The workshop is being held at Hotel Alexandrina at Prospect, and is facilitated by Shirlene Nibbs of Nibbs and Associates, Antigua and Barbuda.

Hospitality Assured (HA) is a programme that recognises excellence in the service environment, which means meeting the expectations of a range of customers on a consistent and regular basis. The Hospitality Assured framework helps organizations understand customers’ expectations; plan the service delivery; communicate the nature and rationale of the service; ensure adequate skills and resources are available; instigate a process of improvement which becomes part of operations and is self-perpetuating.
