Sharjah Museums Department (SMD) in a bid to create awareness about its collection of 18 museums has conducted an orientation tour to educate front-line-staff from the hospitality industry.
Manal Ataya, Director General, SMD, said: "As the first point of contact for visitors to Sharjah, it is extremely important that hospitality staff members are well-versed on the cultural offering of Sharjah. The orientation tour is therefore a key step in further enhancing awareness of the Emirate's rich museum resources among a wider cross-section of the public and eventually inevitably generating stronger tourist interest."
Encouraged by a general interest in Sharjah's museums and eager to improve their knowledge and professional skills, almost 50 people from various Sharjah hotels joined the orientation tour, which incorporated visits to most of Sharjah's museums. Although primarily a museum tour, the programme incorporated a lengthy stop at Al Qasba to familiarize hoteliers with Sharjah's popular destination for dining and entertainment.
