Travelers can consult guide books and road maps to navigate unfamiliar destinations, but entrepreneurs starting a tourism business are usually left to wander on their own.
In a bid to unlock tourism potential, JobStreet Lanka (JSL), part of a global business conglomerate which provides eRecruitment, BPO and corporate training services, is hosting a travel and tourism business seminar. The seminar is part of JobStreet Lanka’s international seminar and workshop series intended for the corporate sector and entrepreneurs, who want to start or expand tourism-related businesses.

The seminar is tailor made for entrepreneurs, industry representatives, local tourism organization employees, expatriates, students and those who wish to have an alternative business by setting up a travel business with an affordable start-up capital. It also offers new insights to those who are already in the same venture but who would wish to gain additional knowledge of the many other aspects of making their travel operations more profitable.
“It’s an opportunity for them to come in, learn about the program and connect with the different partners and for us to talk about how we can ultimately support them in getting into the industry, the opportunities that are there and the markets that we work in,” said Sam Kaluarachchi, Managing Director of JobStreet Lanka.
