Recommendations - Tourism education as a local pro-poor initiative?

In order to explore aspects and details that have not been studied during this research it is recommended that a number of aspects are further looked into. In addition it is recommended that the identified problems affecting the feasibility of the CTTC are inspected with more scrutiny. Further research might reveal options to work around the identified problems or options that mitigate the negative effects these problems have on the feasibility of the CTTC. It is recommended that:

• Possible options to gain the support of one of the primary stakeholder groups, the tourism enterprises located in the Mara Region, are further explored. As described under chapter 7. Discussion the support of the tourism enterprises towards the establishment of the CTTC might be subject to change depending on the prospects of the CTTC;

• The proposed idea of starting an educational program to bridge the educational gap between the current local applicant pool and the envisioned minimum entry level of the CTTC will be examined to determine the feasibility of such a program;

• The possibilities regarding a PPP are further explored to determine the feasibility of such a form of management and ownership of the CTTC;

• A third party with relevant knowledge and expertise is contacted to aid in the

development of a suitable curriculum for the CTTC and to aid in securing the necessary accreditation;

• A study is conducted to map the financial resources available to establish a CTTC;

• The feasibility of the proposition of some stakeholders to offer education and training related to other work fields than the tourism industry at the CTTC will be examined.
