In the UK, the tourism industry plays a significant role in the economy, contributing £145.9 billion to the GDP in 2019. With the increasing number of refugees seeking integration into society, there is a growing demand for English language skills tailored specifically for tourism purposes. According to a report by the British Hospitality Association, 67% of employers in the hospitality sector struggle to recruit staff with the necessary language skills.
A Professional Certificate in Teaching English for Tourism Purposes for Refugee Integration is essential to meet this demand and bridge the gap between refugees looking for employment opportunities in the tourism sector and employers seeking multilingual staff. This certificate will equip teachers with the necessary skills to effectively teach English in a tourism context, helping refugees integrate into the workforce and contribute to the growth of the industry.
By offering this specialized certification, we can support the integration of refugees into society, boost the diversity of the tourism workforce, and ultimately enhance the overall visitor experience in the UK.
