Online business lectures series for tourist guides
​Many small businesses including self-employed individuals, freelancers and contract workers were unable to comply with minimum requirements to access available relief measures being offered by the Department. This included the tourist guiding sector who comprise largely of freelancers or contract workers.

To address this gap the Directorate Tourist Guiding Management hosted a series of pre-recorded sessions covering topics with focus around compliance issues such as tax, business registration and contract management specifically relating to Tourist Guides. This will allow guides to have a better understanding of these various compliance measures in order to access relief funds and other opportunities in the future.
