The De-suung Skilling Programme (DSP) has launched a 'Cultural Tour Guide course' for two cohorts, comprising 80 De-suups, beginning on 20 August 2024 at the DSP Centre in Phaduna, Punakha. This 4-month intensive course aligns with the curriculum of the BQF Certificate II under TVET Quality Control. In addition to the core content, the course includes training in communication skills, social etiquette, and an introduction to foreign languages and cultures.

This initiative by DSP addresses the shortage of skilled tour guides in the tourism industry, contributing significantly to the sector.
