- Hospitality Training Set For February 17 CANCELED
-
- The one-day seminar entitled "Hospitality Training" planned for Thursday, February 17 at Homer City Hall was canceled due to the low number of applicants. The Homer Chamber of Commerce, Haynesville Chamber of Commerce, and the LSU AgCenter will try to reschedule the seminar at a more convenient time for business owners. The goal of the seminar was to better prepare our community for the increasing tourism in our state and our parish by offering an inexpensive way to train front line people--those people that tourists come in contact with first--to improve their skills and educate them on the importance of tourism to the local economy, which would also serve as a benefit to employers.
Tourism is gaining momentum in our state and area businesses must be ready. To prepare our community for tourism, the Homer Chamber of Commerce, Haynesville Chamber of Commerce, and the LSU AgCenter will offer a one-day seminar entitled, "Hospitality Training." The seminar will be held from 10 A.M. to 2P.M. at the Homer City Hall on Thursday, February 17, 2000.
The seminar, "Hospitality Training" was developed by the LSU AgCenter to meet the needs of businesses. The seminar's goals are to train "front line people", those people that tourists come in contact with first. The seminar will help your employees to improve their people skills and educate them on the importance of tourism to the local economy. An agenda for seminar is attached.
The seminar will cost a modest $5 per employee. The cost of the seminar includes lunch. Make checks payable to: Homer Chamber of Commerce. Please complete the enclosed registration form and return no later than Friday, February 11, 2000. Send as many employees as you wish' we can accommodate a large number.
