Under the initiative, Umar Khan said the participants selected by the KPCTA for the Mezban or Host Tourism Program would not only prepare rooms in their homes to host tourists but would also receive comprehensive training to better serve the visitors.
He said the training would enable them to offer high-quality hospitality services to guests in a homely environment.
The KPCTA and the NPP Foundation would design the future training program for the elected participants to help them promote their businesses through the tourism sector and social media.
The training, the official added, would focus not only on providing proper amenities to tourists during home-stay but also on creating a home-like environment for tourists.
