A total of 27 tourism professionals from over 10 companies in Singapore took part in a three-day sustainability course, organised by The Ascott Limited and the Washington-headquartered Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC).

Held from Oct 11 to 13, the first-ever session of the Sustainable Tourism Course (STC) followed a memorandum of understanding signed by the two parties in July to jointly train Singapore’s hospitality staff in sustainability matters.

GSTC and Ascott will facilitate over 700 training hours through the STC and the Sustainable Hotel Course (SHC), which will begin in 1Q2024.
