RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE ASSOCIATION OF SOUTH EAST ASIAN NATIONS (ASEAN) TOURIST INDUSTRY: MANPOWER DEVELOPMENT, TRAINING ISSUES AND COMPETITIVENESS
The tourist industry in the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) region has grown at an unprecedented rate, keenly reflecting the rapid growth of the individual economies of the region. Associated training and manpower development efforts — keys to a position of competitiveness — however, have not kept pace with this growth. While various measures have been suggested to develop manpower capabilities in the tourism sector in this region, efforts to meet obligations are arguably insufficient. This paper traces recent developments in the tourist industry in ASEAN and its region and examines training and manpower development challenges that the region faces at present. This article also suggests ways to address those issues.
