DIVINE WORD UNIVERSITY
MADANG
Tourism industry in Papua New Guinea is an alternative to contribute to their national economy in future to replace the unrenewable resources.
Senior lecturer of the school of tourism,
hospitality and management Hellen Gimbo uttered the statement in an interview.
Mrs Gimbo said PNG have massive unrenewable
resources such as gold, cooper and the liquefied natural gas but it will run
out in the future.
“But tourism is here to stay and is an
alternative source of revenue earner for PNG in the future”
She said PNG students graduated
with tourism hospitality management from Divine Word University now they are
working in tourism industry as hotel managers and general managers in Papua New
Guinea.
She affirmed that courses offered in DWU were of
international standards, that graduands can explore opportunities overseas and
abroad.
Senior lecturer Gimbo said, the department was
encouraging THM students after completing their studies to start their own
tourism business.
In fact starting your own business is a win, win
situation in which the nation will benefit and your business as well.
PNG government has strong political on tourism
as their priority because it creates employment opportunities to engage the
unfortunate ones in the rural areas and urban centres working.
Currently DWU enrolled students from Vanuatu,
Bougainville and Solomon Islands studying various courses.
