Saba Comprehensive School students with their certificates on Wednesday.
ABA–One of the major highlights of this year’s second annual Saba Hospitality and Tourism conference was an “Introduction to Hospitality and Tourism and How To Be the Best“ presentation specifically adapted for high school students of Saba Comprehensive School held at the school on Wednesday.
“Our tourism product can only be truly successful if we all play our part,” stressed Natasha Gittens, who was the lead presenter. “We need to plant the seeds, encourage and nurture our future human resource leaders (i.e. students) so that we can achieve sustainability and upward progression in this industry.”
The presentation was designed to enlighten, foster and promote ways to entice high school students to pursue studies or careers in the hospitality and tourism sector. Part two of this equation is that students from Saba will return home after completing hospitality and tourism degrees and play pivotal roles in managing and seeking leadership employment in the ever-advancing Saba hospitality industry.
Student Valeria Perez Cordero said, “I learned that opportunities will not always come knocking on your door. You have to go out and grab it.”
Olivia Johnson, another fourth form student, said, “To be the best you can and set your bars as high as possible.”
Christian Nicholson, another student, said, “It showed me how to be more positive about myself and not to give up.”
