The East African Community Tourism Capacity Development Programme


      


Welcome to the EAC Tourism Capacity
Development Programme!

East Africa has recorded impressive
achievements in the realm of tourism owing to the conscious efforts of EAC
Partner States and the EAC Secretariat to promote the region as a single
tourism destination. As a key priority in the EAC Tourism Marketing Strategy to
strengthen institutional and private sector capacities in the region, the EAC
welcomes all stakeholders and practitioners in the tourism sector in the region to enrol in this
programme. 

Dive into our exciting learning
journey, tailored just for you! This programme is a unique blend of self-paced
learning and interactive live sessions with industry experts in the region, all
designed to enhance your knowledge, upscale your skills, and increase your
competitiveness as a tourism stakeholder at absolutely no cost to you!

The courses in this programme are 100% free. They offer easily accessible and engaging modules, webinars, and expert talks for the
